Solution

The statement that is not true regarding a firm in perfect competition is: "A single firm can influence the demand for its product by advertising."

In a perfect competition, all firms are price takers and sell homogeneous products. Therefore, advertising by a single firm will not influence the demand for its product as consumers see the products of all firms as identical.
