Solution

A) True

The statement is true. The gauge factor or sensitivity factor of a strain gauge is a measure of how much the resistance changes for a given strain. If the gauge factor were increased, it means that the strain gauge has become more sensitive. Therefore, for the same amount of strain, it would output a larger change in resistance. This is because the gauge factor is the proportionality constant that relates the mechanical strain to the relative change in electrical resistance.
