Request answer for this question on airspeed indicator

Q Compressiblity error

A Causes overreading of the ASI at all levels whenever TAS exceeds 300kt.

B Causes overreading of the ASI whenever CAS exceeds 300kt.

C is calibrated out of the ASI at MSL ISA conditions and only causes overeading when air density is decreased and CAS exceeds 300kt.

D is calibrated out of the ASI at MSL ISA conditions and only causes overeading when air density is decreased and TAS exceeds 300kt.

As per my understanding answer is one of A or D as compressibility error occurs at TAS more than 300kts, also airspeed indicator is calibrated at seal level for density error, but I am not sure if its A or D.
Please list the answer and the reason also. Thanks alot in advance for the help
