Answer:

a) true

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both Rajaa and Aarav are legal foreign residents in the US that lived in the country during 2019, and are considered non-residents by the IRS (because they do not have an ITIN, nor worked in the country). Even though they file this form, they will not owe any taxes.
