Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The air pressure is higher at the poles. We know that the air is cold at the poles compared to the equator. The "warm air" is never denser than the cold air. So, it is safe to state that the "air is denser" near the poles than it is at the equator. Direct proportionality exists between pressure and density. At the poles compared to the equator, "air pressure" is higher due to denser air.
