B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false because Lutetia was the ancient Roman name for what is now Paris, not Rennes. The city of Lutetia (Lutetia Parisiorum) was the precursor to modern Paris. Rennes was known as Condate Riedonum in Roman times. This tests knowledge of ancient Roman city names and their modern equivalents.
