To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of file handling in programming.
In programming, a file is a collection of related data stored in a specific location. File handling allows programs to read from and write to files, enabling input and output operations.
In this question, it is stated that the main program does not contain any input or output statements. However, it is mentioned that the main program can reference the record area of the file.
This statement is true. Even if the main program does not have explicit input or output statements, it can still access and manipulate the data within the file by referencing the record area. The record area represents the portion of the file that contains the actual data.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) True.
