If the geometry and other parameters of an element are defined in terms of only one spatial coordinate, then the element is a one-dimensional element?

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Library of Elements and Interpolation Functions topic in division Interpolation Functions, Numerical Integration and Modelling Considerations of Finite Element Method

Correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: A one-dimensional element possesses one degree of freedom at each node. It is also known as a bar element or line element. Geometry and other parameters of a bar element are defined in terms of one spatial coordinate only. If a one-dimensional element has two nodes with corresponding displacements u1, u2 and corresponding shape functions N1, N2, then the displacement function is given by N1u1+N2u2.
