Solution

The correct option is A True
$C$ is mid-point of the line segment $A B$ .
So, $A C = C B$
$D$ and $E$ are mid-points of the segments $A C$ and $B C$ respectively.
So, $A D = D C$ and $C E = E B$
Since, $A C = C B$
=> $2 A D = 2 B E$
=> $A D = B E$
Since, $A C = A D + D C = A D + A D = 2 A D$
$C B = A C = 2 A D$
Now,
$A B = A C + C B = 2 A D + 2 A D = 4 A D = 4 B E$
So, $A B = 4 B E$
