Answer:

(B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.
