Question *Wording* WCA vs. Drift

Hi all,
Could I request some help with the wording and meaning of WCA vs. Drift?

As I understood,
  • Drift is the direction towards where you are being blown, i.e. if wind is from the right (startboard), you are blown to the left (port), so the "Drift" is to the left (port). And vice-versa.
  • WCA is the direction to turn to correct for the drift
Is this above correct?

My test bank: I am getting this error, so is it my understanding? Or the language? Or?

Many thanks!
