Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Plastic pipes tend to break at freezing temperatures as the water inside the pipes freezes into ice and tends to undergo expansion, resulting in solid ice filling more volume compared with the liquid that was running through the pipes. The ice thus creates pressure inside pipes, and eventually, pipes burst.
