Best answer
The correct answer is (b) True, True

For explanation I would say: Horizontal tube evaporator is easy for cleaning as the evaporator part can be easily dismantled from the rest of the equipment parts. Horizontal tube evaporator has a disadvantage of hindering agitation of the feed as it is present outside the horizontal tubes.
