True

Step-by-step explanation

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side

At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero.

so, for example in the graph, at A the velocity is at its maximum, and the acceletion is zero,

therefore, the statement is

True
