Let $\text{x}\in\text{A}\cap\text{C}$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}\in \text{A}$ and $\text{x}\in\text{C}$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}\in\text{B}$ and $\text{x}\in\text{C}\ \big[\because \text{A}\subset\text{B}\big]$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}\in(\text{B}\cap\text{C})$
$\Rightarrow (\text{A}\cap\text{C})\subset(\text{B}\cap\text{C})$
Hence, given statement is true.
