Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A body can have a non-zero acceleration even if its velocity is zero. When an object is thrown up it reaches a maximum height. After that, it falls down under the influence of gravity. At the highest point, its velocity is zero, but it has an acceleration that is equal to the acceleration due to gravity.
