Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The weight of the object exerts a force on the table equal to the weight of the object. In turn, the table exerts a reaction force on the object equal to the weight's magnitude but in the opposite direction (Newton's third law). As a result of two equal forces acting in opposite directions on the object, the net force is zero, and the object remains at rest.
