True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A dull blade is actually more dangerous to use than one that is sharp. Here’s why: A dull blade requires more pressure to cut, increasing the chance that the knife will slip with great force behind it. A sharp knife “bites” the surface more readily.

Detailed explanation-2: -While one certainly needs to take care when using sharp knives, a dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp blade. When a knife blade is blunt or dull, it requires more pressure to cut, making it more likely to slip with the increased force behind it and cause an injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pressure is inversly proportional to area and sharp knife has less area which exert more pressure while blunt knife has more area so it exert less pressure this is the reason sharp knife cut better.
