I also went with a True answer.
2-30-11 A passer is a player who throws a forward pass. He continues to be a passer until the pass ends or until he moves to participate in the play.
So when the pass is caught or falls incomplete he looses the designation of passer.
The question reads: 67. After the pass is thrown, provided the passer is standing still or fading back, defensive players shall make an effort to avoid charging into him.
This is true because a passer could be moving into a position to block after he threw the pass and that ends his designation as a passer.
And in the end I see this question as being almost word-for-word from the Rules book.
9-4-4 Roughing the passer. Defensive players must make a definite effort to avoid charging into a passer, who has thrown the ball from in or behind the neutral zone, after it is clear the ball has been thrown. No defensive player shall charge into the passer who is standing still or fading back, because he is considered out of the play after the pass.
