From your link:

Compression can allow more rows to be stored on a page, but does not change the maximum row size of a table or index.

So, the "Compression can allow more rows to be stored on a page" is true!

And from the same page: Off-row data is not compressed when enabling data compression, so that one is true and therefor false as an answer to this question

I think there was a typo mistake in the question and the word 'not' was missing. Option 2 was he "Compression allows more rows to be stored on a page" which is true, but in the explanation it says he "Compression does not allow more rows to be stored on a page" which is false.
