Final answer:

Not all receptacles in NEC 210.52 must be tamper-resistant; NEC 406.12 specifies the locations requiring tamper-resistant receptacles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false; not all receptacles listed in NEC 210.52 are required to be tamper-resistant. The requirement for tamper-resistant receptacles is specified in NEC 406.12, which outlines that tamper-resistant receptacles are required in certain locations where small children are likely to be present. However, it is important to consult the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local amendments because codes may vary by jurisdiction and are updated periodically.
