Here is what I think:

SFC = FF/Thrust, since thrust is a function of air density which itself decreases with increasing temperature, then a higher SAT= less thrust which leads to an increased SFC.

TAS is a function of air density as well but in the form 1/ density's square root, so a higher SAT leading to a decrease in air density will accordingly cause an increase in TAS

So I guess your answer is B
