B Correct answer
Explanation

False. Spoilers are designed to reduce lift, not increase it. When deployed, spoilers disrupt the airflow over the wing, decreasing lift and increasing drag. They're used during descent to reduce lift quickly, on landing to prevent wing lift, and in some aircraft for roll control. Flaps, not spoilers, are used to increase lift.
