B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false because while the war did begin on December 3, 1971 (with Operation Chengiz Khan), it did not end on December 16. The fighting continued with Pakistani forces in the eastern theater even after the December 16 surrender in Dhaka, and formal hostilities ended with the Karachi Agreement on December 17, 1971. Additionally, some border skirmishes persisted into early 1972.
