Solution

The correct option is B False
Attributive adjectives are placed right before the noun/noun phrase it modifies. Predicative adjectives are placed after the noun, but not immediately after it; it follows a linking verb that is placed after that noun, for example, 'I love red'.
In the given sentence, the adjective "delicious" follows the linking verb "tasted" to modify the noun "lasagna", hence it is predicative.
Hence the given statement is false, option B is correct and A is incorrect.
