Best answer
The correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: In the case, if a single strain is used for packaging, there are increased chances of endogenous material being packed. It can be avoided by using additional mutations such as xis in the prophage to stop the excision and packaging of the lysogenic phage from the cells producing packaging extract.
