Final answer:

True. The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution allows individuals to refuse to participate in a field sobriety test.

Step-by-step explanation:

True.

The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution gives individuals the right to refuse to answer questions from any government entity if they believe that their answers might lead to criminal prosecution. This includes the right to refuse to participate in a field sobriety test, as doing so could potentially incriminate the individual.
