Final answer:

False. Aggravated mayhem, PC 205, refers to the act of unlawfully and intentionally causing serious bodily injury to another person.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Aggravated mayhem, PC 205, refers to the act of unlawfully and intentionally causing serious bodily injury to another person. This offense involves acts such as intentionally causing permanent disability or disfigurement, but it also includes additional elements such as disabling or depriving the victim of a part of their body, such as a limb or organ. Therefore, causing permanent disability or disfigurement alone may not necessarily constitute aggravated mayhem if the other elements of the offense are not present.
