Solution

The false statement is:

d. False negative test results are now rare in all women

Explanation: While mammographic breast screening has significantly improved over the years, it is not infallible. False negatives, where a mammogram misses signs of cancer, can still occur. This is especially true in women with dense breast tissue, where it can be more difficult to detect abnormalities. Therefore, the statement that false negative test results are now rare in all women is false.
