Correct option is (b) False

The explanation is: The given statemet is false. Thermoforming and blow moulding are totally different processes. Thermoforming is the process in which an article is heated stretched and cooled to give it a desirable shape. Whereas, in blow moulding, the thermoplastic is heated and put into the desired container and then shaped by blowing air through it.
