Solution

The correct option is A True
The statement is true. "Either-or", when it joins two singular subjects, takes a singular verb, according to the rules of subject-verb agreement.
For example:
Either my mother or my father is at home. (two singular subjects - mother and father; we use the singular auxiliary verb "is")
