Final answer:

The statement about inappropriate use incidents being predominantly illegal and abusive of systems is false. Not all such incidents are illegal; some might simply violate social norms. Moreover, the temperance movement arose partly due to new social conditions like urbanization and immigration, which is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'inappropriate use incidents are predominantly characterized as a violation of the law as well as an effort to abuse existing systems' is false. Not all inappropriate use incidents necessarily involve illegal activity or a deliberate attempt to abuse systems. Some incidents could arise from a lack of knowledge or understanding of the rules. The production and consumption of illegal substances like drugs and alcohol indeed constitute a significant portion of criminal activity, and these behaviors can both cause and result from crime. However, there are also instances where inappropriate use might simply be a violation of social norms without breaking the law, such as driving under the influence, which despite being illegal receives less stringent enforcement compared to more strictly punished monetary crimes.

The temperance movement did indeed stem from new social conditions such as increasing urbanization and immigration, making answer 'a. True' the correct choice for Exercise 13.3.3 addressing that subject.
