Best answer
Correct option is (a) True

The explanation: Ultrafiltration is mainly used at lab scale in current days because it is very prone to membrane fouling. This is caused due to increased solute concentration at the membrane surface, which leads to concentration polarization (CP). CP is the major culprit in decreasing permeate flux.
