A
False
💡 Explanation:
A beamer is indeed a no-ball in cricket, but free-hit is awarded only for front-foot no-balls (foot faults), not for no-balls called for height like beamers. The batsman can be dismissed on the following ball after a beamer, so it is not a free hit. Free-hit rules specifically apply only to foot-fault no-balls.
