Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 40 (Air Brakes): A warning device that fails silently gives no indication of a real problem later, so it needs to be verified fresh each time

Why

A warning device can fail without any obvious sign, so the only way to know it will work when needed is to test it as part of every pre-trip routine, not just periodically.
