TRUE or FALSE: A supersaturated solution can be made by increasing the

temperature of the solvent which raises the solubility of many solutes, allowing
more solute to dissolve than would otherwise be possible.

The statement is true. Increasing the temperature of the solvent raises the solubility of many solutes, which can lead to a supersaturated solution if more solute is added than would normally dissolve at that temperature.
