Right answer is (b) False

The best explanation: If a component of the gas mix, transferred to liquid and is a gas at operating condition of mass transfer, then it is called as absorption. If a component transferred to liquid and is a vapor at operating condition of mass transfer, then it is called as scrubbing.
