Final answer:

The given statement is False, the diamond-shaped area between the coccyx, pubic arch, and ischial tuberosities is the perineum, not the vulva (option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that the diamond-shaped area between the coccyx, pubic arch, and ischial tuberosities in the female is the vulva is false. The area described is known as the perineum, which is a region in both males and females. The perineum consists of a diamond-shaped space divided into two triangles: the anterior urogenital triangle and the posterior rectal triangle. While the anterior urogenital triangle does include external genital structures in females, the term vulva specifically refers to the external female reproductive structures, which consist of the mons pubis, female erectile organ, labia majora, labia minora, and the vestibular glands. These are not synonymous with the perineal region.

Hence, the answer is option B.
