The correct choice is (a) True

The best I can explain: A passenger sitting in a train is in rest with respect to his other passengers but is in motion with respect to the things outside the train. Thus, an object maybe at rest with respect to one object and, at the same time, in motion with respect to another object. Hence rest and motion are relative terms.
