Answer:

b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The term phreaker is not commonly associated with an individual who cracks or removes software protection that is designed to prevent unauthorized duplication.

A phreak (a combination of phone and freaks) is a slang for an individual who manipulates a telephone system illegally usually to tap phone lines or make free long distance phone calls. They also do network mimicry, phone cloning, blue-hacking and other types of phone hacking.
