Answer :

False, while it is true that game development teams typically have a producer, it is not accurate to say that it is extremely rare to find a team with an assistant producer. The Option B.

Is it common for game development teams to have an assistant producer?

In fact, many larger game development studios and projects often have assistant producers as part of their team structure. The assistant producer works closely with the producer and provides support in various aspects of game development such as coordinating schedules, managing documentation and assisting with communication between team members.

Having an assistant producer help alleviate the workload on the producer and ensure smooth operation of the development process. So, while not every game development team may have an assistant producer, it is not an uncommon role to find in the industry.
