Explanation:

In an indirect proof (proof by contradiction), we assume the negation (opposite) of what we want to prove is true, then show this leads to a contradiction. The statement says we assume the inverse (which is the negation here) of what we intend to prove is true, which matches the indirect proof method. So the statement is True.

Answer:

A. True
