(a) False. The matrix $\operatorname{Cov}(\underline X,\underline Y)=E[(\underline X-\mu_X)(\underline Y-\mu_Y)']$ need not equal its transpose; $\operatorname{Cov}(\underline X,\underline Y)'=\operatorname{Cov}(\underline Y,\underline X)$. It is symmetric only when $\underline X=\underline Y$ (or when $\operatorname{Cov}(\underline X,\underline Y)=\operatorname{Cov}(\underline Y,\underline X)$). (b) False (as stated).
