Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The frictional force is an equal and opposite force to the applied force up to a limit. So, when we increase the applied force, the frictional force also increases to a certain limit. For example, when we apply a small force to the book placed on the table, the book does not move because the friction force of the equal amount comes into play and opposes the motion of the book. However, if we increase the force, the friction force will also increase, and after applying a force greater than some specific value, the book starts to move. This is because the friction force increases as the applied force increases but up to a certain limit.
