Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When the object is placed at infinity, the two parallel to the principal axis rays AB and DE are reflected at points and E, respectively, and intersect at the principal focus on the principal axis. As a result, the image is formed at the primary focus, which is highly diminished, real, and inverted in this case. Because the rays cannot bend coming from a long distance without colliding with any obstacles, they will be straight and parallel. This is why we say the rays are almost parallel.
