Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Methyl red is an indicator widely used in quality control of oxides as Zinc oxide in the titration with sulfuric acid.

As is used in titrations of acid-base reactions the indicator change in colour. Is red when the pH < 4.4 (Acidic Solutions) and is yellow when pH > 6.2 (Neutral-Basic solutions).

A change in colour means the structure of the indicator is changing with pH. Thus, the answer is:

a. True
