B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is B (False). In the context of asking for a salary increase, the correct word is 'raise' (with an 'a'), which means an increase in salary. 'Rise' (with an 'i') is an intransitive verb meaning to go up or ascend - you don't 'get a rise', you 'get a raise'.
