Which of these statements is false?

A) The two basic techniques employed in intraoral radiography are bisecting and paralleling.
B) The paralleling technique arose through application of the rule of isometry.
C) Both the paralleling and the bisecting techniques can be modified to meet special conditions.
D) The paralleling technique is newer than the bisecting technique.

B
Explanation: A) The concept of the bisecting technique (also called "bisecting-angle" or "short-cone technique") originated through application of a geometric principle known as the rule of isometry.
