Correct answer is (b) False

To explain: The flow of liquid through a filter follows the basic rules that govern the flow of any liquid through medium offering resistance. Rate of flow is the ratio of driving force to resistance. The resistance is not constant, it increases with an increase in deposition of solids on the filter medium. Therefore, filtration is not a steady state.
