Solution

The correct option is B False
An equation that involves only one variable and the highest power of the variable involved is one, is called a linear equation in one variable.
In the given equation, $3 a^{2} + 5 = 8$ ; the highest power is $2 .$
Hence, it is not a linear equation in one variable.
