False. C4 nb4 -> black queen also threatens b4
C5 Qe5
Qc4 qg5+
Rxe5 ... black resigns because they lost a queen for nothing.
I really don't think black can take on b4 after the c4 push. c5 cuts the support and now the queen is threatened and has to move which will result in e6 (attacked 3 times) falling or black's queen being hunted.
Lol I'm stupid that should have been qe7
Qe7 still runs into Nxe6 and black can't take back because e6 is attacked too many times. As suggested above Nf6 is the most sensible response after c4, black needs that knight to defend.
