A counterclaim is when someone makes a statement or claim against another person who has already made one against the other person. This term is usually used in court or in a legal case. So, the correct answer is A) TRUE.

A counterclaim is made to prove false an accusation made against someone. As said before, this can occur in a legal case when an organization or a person starts legal action against someone who has already started one against them.
