The correct option is (a) True

For explanation: The given statement is true. Nitrogen is used as a filler gas and does not have any antimicrobial property. Nitrogen is an inert gas. It has no anti-microbial activity and acts as a cushion, thereby preventing pack collapse. Since it displaces oxygen from the pack, oxidative rancidity is delayed.
