The correct option is (b) False

Explanation: Due to efflorescence, there is a deposition of salts on the surface of soil forming a thin crust after the evaporation of water. Land affected by that is saline soil and the soil water surrounding the roots of the plants reduces the osmotic activity of the soil.
