Solution

The correct option is A True
The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon says, "parody is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text."
Parody is one of the most important art forms mastered in the present era. It's basically a reworking of one kind of composition into another from a different perspective, usually a humorous one. A prominent example would be:
Charlie Chaplin's impersonation of Adolf Hitler for comic effect in the satirical film, The Great Dictator (1940). Thus, the statement is true.
