(TRUE) True. When a spring balance holding an object is released,it falls freely under the influence of gravity. In a state of free fall,both the spring balance and the object experience the same acceleration due to gravity $(g)$. Consequently,there is no net force exerted by the object on the spring of the balance,leading to a reading of zero weight.
