Final answer:

2 does not divide evenly into 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement is d. 2 ∤ 1. This means that 2 does not divide evenly into 1. To test if a number divides evenly into another number, we check if the remainder is 0 when the second number is divided by the first number. In this case, 2 does not divide evenly into 1 because when 1 is divided by 2, the remainder is 1.
