    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement that there are trees cultivated to grow spaghetti is false. Spaghetti is a type of pasta made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes eggs. It is not grown on trees but is manufactured through a process of mixing and kneading the ingredients, followed by drying. The idea of spaghetti trees was actually a prank played by the BBC in 1957, where they aired a segment showing spaghetti growing on trees, fooling many viewers. However, in reality, spaghetti does not grow on trees.
