The correct answer to the following question will be "True".

Explanation:

The MPC (Model Penal Code) was an American Law Institute project, and it was released after quite a 10-year drafting era in 1962. The requirement for this Model Penal Code is far narrower than the M'Naghten law as well as the Irresistibly attractive Impulse Requirement. The MPC provision, however, questions if offenders can understand the nature of their actions or can adhere to the rules, incorporating these two components.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
