<u>False(option b)</u>

It's actually inverse of the question statement.

Effusion is the ability of gas to travel through a small opening. Diffusion is the ability of gases to mix with each other usually in the absence of a barrier. Effusion occurs when the size or aperture of the hole is smaller than the mean free path of the molecules.

Diffusion occurs when gas molecules disperse throughout a container. Effusion occurs when a gas passes through an opening that is smaller than the mean free path of the particles, that is, the average distance traveled between collisions. Effectively, this means that only one particle passes through at a time.
