    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Smokejumpers are highly trained firefighters who are specially trained to parachute into remote areas to combat wildfires. They do not stay in hotels, but rather live in remote base camps or fire camps close to the fire zones. They have to be prepared to live and work in the forest for extended periods of time, as their job requires them to be on the front lines of the fire, often in rugged and isolated environments. Therefore, the statement that smokejumpers stay in hotels and don't have to worry about living in a forest is false.
