b. False
Explanation: Directional (yaw) control existed in earlier aircraft — for example, the Wright Flyer (1903) used a rudder for directional control. Balloons and steerable airships also had directional control before helicopters were developed. Helicopters arrived later and added vertical flight and yaw control via the tail rotor or other systems.
