C Correct answer
Explanation

Option C is FALSE (making it the correct answer to 'which is NOT true') because ServletContext has no getParameter() method - the correct method is getInitParameter(). Options A, B, and D are all TRUE: ServletContext init parameters are configured in web.xml, meant for data that rarely changes (like database connection strings), are application-wide (shared by all servlets), and are accessed using getInitParameter(String name).getParameter() methods exist on HttpServletRequest, not ServletContext.
