B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false because a batsman CAN be given out LBW if the ball hits them outside the line of off stump, provided they are not attempting a shot (e.g., they leave the ball). The 'outside off stump' protection only applies when the batsman is playing a shot. If no shot is offered, the umpire can still give LBW even with impact outside off stump.
