A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Our bodies are made up of about a hundred million million (100, 000, 000, 000, 000) tiny cells. You can only see them under a microscope.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells, whether living on their own or as part of a multicellular organism, are usually too small to be seen without a light microscope. Cells share many common features, yet they can look wildly different. In fact, cells have adapted over billions of years to a wide array of environments and functional roles.

Detailed explanation-3: -An egg is also a cell and we are able to see an egg with our naked eye so if Deekshith said about body cells then the Deekshith statement is true but Deekshith said that we can’t see cells with the naked eye then it is false because we can see some cell with our naked like for example ostrich egg.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ovum: A single cell-like egg can be seen without a microscope. In all mammals ovum is the only cell that is visible to the human eye.

Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, cells are too tiny to see with our naked eyes. But not every cell is microscopic. the ostrich egg is the largest cell. Ameobas can be up to 3mm wide and they can be seen by the naked eye.
