Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept- In this question, we can also consider some extremely real-world circumstances in which applied force modifies or distorts an object's initial shape. When a fast moving car collides with a stiff object, such as a wall or a tree, the shape of the car is twisted. Using this method, consider two more scenarios in which such things could occur.
The following are two instances of forces that cause an object's shape to change:
(1) When we pressed the rubber ball or applied force to it, its shape changed, however when the force was released, the ball's shape returned.
(2) The shape of the inflated balloon changes when we push it between our palms or apply force to it with our palms; if we apply more force, the balloon will explode.
Hence, the given statement is true.
