Best answer

The correct answer is (a) True

The best explanation: The actual contact pressure distribution depends upon flexural rigidity of footing and the elastic properties of the sub-grade. If the footing is flexible, then the distribution pressure is uniform irrespective of the type of sub-grade or under-soil material.
