Solution

The statement "a. may consist of a liquid core containing one or more drugs in a coating" is true about microcapsules. Microcapsules are a type of dosage form used in medicine and pharmacy. They are small particles that contain an active drug (or drugs) inside a protective coating. This coating can be made from a variety of materials, including gelatin, and is designed to protect the drug from the environment, control the rate at which the drug is released, and/or target the drug to a specific area of the body.

The statement "b. size range of 1 to 2000 micrometers" is also true. Microcapsules, as their name suggests, are very small. They typically range in size from 1 to 2000 micrometers (or 0.001 to 2 millimeters). This small size allows them to be easily swallowed or injected, and to circulate through the body.

The statement "c. gelatin is not a suitable" is not complete, so it's hard to determine its truth. However, gelatin is often used as a coating material for microcapsules, so if the statement is implying that gelatin is not suitable for this purpose, it would be false. Gelatin is a good choice for microcapsule coating because it is biocompatible (meaning it won't harm the body), it can be easily formed into a coating, and it can be modified to control the rate at which the drug is released.
