ANSWER

False

Step-by-step explanation

Magnification is a measure of an image's size compared to the size of the object that formed the image.

Since magnification is a ratio that is proportional to the sizes of the image and object, it follows that if magnification is less than 1, the image is smaller than the object, if magnification is equal to 1, the image and object are the same size and if magnification is greater than 1, the image is larger than the object.

Therefore, it is False.
