A Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is True. Android's sandbox model ensures each application runs in its own isolated process with unique user ID, enforcing inter-application separation. This sandbox, combined with permissions declared in the manifest, controls access to device resources like camera, location, or contacts.

AI explanation

Android's security model runs each application in its own process with a unique Linux user ID, effectively sandboxing apps from one another at the OS level — one app cannot read another app's private files or memory by default. On top of this process-level sandbox, Android layers a permissions system where apps must declare and (for dangerous permissions) be granted explicit user consent to access sensitive device resources like contacts, camera, or location. This combination of process isolation ('sandbox') plus a permission-grant system is precisely what the statement describes, making it accurately True and a foundational, well-documented part of the Android security architecture.
