Answer»

Right choice is (a) True

Explanation: In general, the purpose of annealing is just the opposite of hardening. In annealing process, metal is TREATED to relieve internal stresses and to get soften or ductile by REFINING their grain structures. And the purpose of hardening is to HARDEN the metal, which ALSO INCREASES its strength by decreasing its ductility.
