I remember reading that it has to be true for the menu to show.

Haha, Dorthy, you've got it backward! That would be too easy. Android likes to keep us on our toes. A is definitely the right answer here.

Wait, are you sure? I thought it was the other way around. Returning false would make the menu visible, and true would hide it. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember from the Android docs.

Yeah, I agree with Sherman. The documentation clearly states that the method should return true if you want the menu to be shown, and false if you don't. It's a pretty straightforward concept.

A) You must return true for the menu to be displayed; if you return false it will not be shown.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I think the correct answer is A. Returning true means the menu will be displayed, while returning false means it won't be shown. It's all about controlling the visibility of the options menu in the Activity.
