Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Electron states with the same values of quantum numbers $n$ and $l$ form a subshell. For any given value of $n$, the values of $l$ can be $l = 0, 1, 2,...,(n-1)$ For any given value of $n$, there are $n$ possible values of $l$ There are $n$ subshells for each value of $n$. Therefore, there are four subshells with $n=4$.
