A relatively large afferent arteriole on one side of the glomerulus compared to a relatively smaller efferent arteriole creates an increase in hydrostatic pressure that drives glomerular filtration.

The answer to the given statement above would be TRUE. Since the sides differ in sizes, having one that is larger than the other, this would definitely create an increased hydrostatic pressure for the glomerular filtration. This is due to the unstable pressure due to the difference in sizes.
