Answer 2

a. The Permanent University Fund was used by the Texas legislature to put a halt to the expansion of oil production in Northern Texas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A provides the statement that is false. In this question, we learn about the Permanent University Fund (PUF). This fund was not used by the Texas legislature to put a halt to the expansion of oil production in Northern Texas. Instead, the Permanent University Fund (PUF) was created by the state of Texas in order to fund public education in the state. The fund can only be used in public universities located within Texas.
