Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Air exerts maximum pressure in high to low direction.
Maximum pressure is always exerted in the flow direction. Flow always moves from a high-pressure gradient to a low-pressure gradient. Air is made up of molecules from many gases. The molecules constantly interact with the container's walls and one another. A small force is applied to the wall when a molecule collides. These combined contact forces cause the gas to exert pressure.
