Afraid I dont agree. Pitch angle is changed by both the cyclic and collective. In a steady hover with no wind (A) would be correct. In level flight the pitch angle must change to avoid dissymetry of lift, reducing the pitch angle (and Angle of Attack) on the advancing blade and increasing on the retreating side, therefore answer (D).

I see others got in before me.
