Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Water exists in the air in its gaseous form. If this gaseous water is cooled sufficiently enough below its dew point, it will condense into liquid water. This is what happens to the body of a glass filled with cold water. The glass's temperature drops the temperature of the air immediately around it, cooling it below dew point temperature. This causes water to condense on the body of the glass.
