Correct choice is (b) False

To explain: Magnesium hydroxide cannot be used for the precipitation of calcium citrate as some of the acids may get lost in the solution as magnesium citrate if magnesium is added. The addition of magnesium-free calcium hydroxide is used for the precipitation of calcium citrate.
