True. Boundedness follows from . To prove closedness of the Minkowski sum, let converge to . By the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, the bounded sequence has a subsequence converging to . Closedness gives . Along that subsequence, , which belongs to by closedness. Thus . This proves that the sum is bounded and closed.
