Which of the following statements about the differences between Fermi-Dirac statistics and Bose-Einstein statistics is NOT true?

a. Fermi-Dirac statistics and Bose-Einstein statistics both apply to particles with half-integer spin.
b. Bose-Einstein statistics model particles that do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle.
c. At very low energies the Bose-Einstein statistical factor is significantly greater than the Fermi-Dirac statistical factor.
d. Fermi-Dirac statistics model fermions while Bose-Einstein statistics model bosons.


a.
This statement is not true. The spin determines the distribution function, with fermions having half-integer spin and bosons integer or zero spin.
