Final answer:

The glucostatic hypothesis does not explain the set-point theory of hunger and eating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not true about hunger and feeding behavior is c. The glucostatic hypothesis explains the set-point theory of hunger and eating.

Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite, and leptin is a hormone that signals satiety, so statements a and d are true. The hypothalamus plays a key role in regulating hunger, so statement b is true. However, the glucostatic hypothesis does not explain the set-point theory of hunger and eating, making statement c not true.
