The sentence that is not true is the following one:

b. Adolescents are more likely to drink alcohol if they choose friends who don't drink.

If adolescence have friends that don't drink, they themselves won't drink - so the opposite is true. This will be the case because on the one hand, they won't experience the peer pressure and on the other case, they will have less opportunities to do so
