The statement that is false is: b) A type parameter name must be unique within generic methods, not across them.
In Java generics, type parameter names must be unique within the scope of a single generic method or class, ensuring clarity and proper referencing of the specific type throughout that scope. However, across different generic methods or classes, the same type parameter name can be used independently without conflicts. Therefore, the statement suggesting that type parameter names must be unique across generic methods is false.
