Step-by-step explanation:

The statement about uncountable nouns that is FALSE is: C. Uncountable nouns can never be replaced with pronouns.

Uncountable nouns refer to items that we do not count individually, such as milk, information, and equipment.

They typically do not take a regular plural form (Statement A is true). Examples of uncountable nouns include words like grass, wood, sand, and weather (Statement B is true).

Statement D is also true, as uncountable nouns are indeed nouns that are usually not individually counted.

However, it is not correct to say that uncountable nouns can never be replaced with pronouns.

Pronouns often replace nouns to avoid repetition and can refer to uncountable nouns as well.

For example, 'The equipment is expensive because it is high quality,' where 'it' is the pronoun replacing the uncountable noun 'equipment'.
