The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ignition Temperature:** - Ignition temperature is defined as the minimum temperature at which a substance catches fire and undergoes combustion. 2. **Analyzing the Statement:** - The statement claims that coal has a low ignition temperature and needs strong heating to catch fire. 3. **Correcting the Statement:** - In reality, coal has a high ignition temperature. This means that it requires a significant amount of heat to reach the temperature at which it will ignite. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the original statement is false. Coal does not have a low ignition temperature; it has a high ignition temperature, which means it needs strong heating to catch fire. ---
