This is a very interesting question from Port and Harbour Engineering in section Other Major Topics in Civil Engineering of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

The explanation is: Harbour is an enclosed area where there is storage, refuelling, loading and unloading of cargo facilities. A port is a harbour which provides all facilities for the transfer of cargo as well as passengers. So, all the ports are harbours.
