Right answer is (b) False

The best I can explain: The time progression of drug concentration can never predict its own time course that is, it cannot forecast the time course of the drug effect or the scale of drug effect. Pharmacodynamics is a term used to predict the concentration-effect relationship of a drug when the concentration of the drug has reached equilibrium with a constant response.
