Answer:

True

Explanation:

The arrangement of three groups COOH, CO, OH in the order of reducing boiling point is as follow -

 COOH > OH > CO

COOH gets strongly polarised due to the presence of electron withdrawing carboxy group and hence have strong H+ bonds as compared to that of alcohol.

Hence the given statement is true.
