Best answer
The correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: In tropical forests, dead trees take several years to decay because of the presence of cellulose which gives structural strength to plants. Cellulose is combined and associated with lignins and pentosans so as to resists biodegradation. Hence the statement is true.
