Explanation / Answer

when choosing between a natural distribution and a data transformation it is better to choose a natural distribution if one can be identified that is good as the best transformation available

TRUE , Because, Non-normality is a way of life, since no characteristic (height, weight, etc.) will have exactly a normal distribution. One strategy to make non-normal data resemble normal data is by using a transformation. There is no dearth of transformations in statistics; the issue is which one to select for the situation at hand. Unfortunately, the choice of the "best" transformation is generally not obvious.Often it is possible to transform non-normal data into approximately normal data
