The statement about the redundancy hypothesis that is FALSE is the one that says "It predicts a linear relationship between species richness and community function."
The redundancy hypothesis is the hypothesis that predicts the enhancement of species that can compensate each other if some species are lost due to harsh conditions such particular species have the ability to recover from environmental disturbances. This hypothesis predicts that the elimination of several species doesn't matter as long as the ecosystem is compensated.
Based on this theory, basically, more species means increased ecosystem function. However, it only works until a certain point, after which the abundance of species becomes redundant and doesn't add any effect on the ecosystem function.
Your question seems incomplete, but most likely the completed version is as follows:

A. It best fits the results of Tilman and colleagues.
B. It assumes that in these relationships, species will often overlap in ecological function.
C. It predicts a linear relationship between species richness and community function.
D. Both a and b
