Constant IAS descent

The answer would be B for the reasons given by others if the descent were at constant EAS, ignoring Mach effects. If instead it is IAS that is constant then EAS is increasing and will require a reduction in AoA.

As Keith remarks, the IAS/CAS vs. EAS distinction may be making a finer point than a questioner expects and so B might be acceptable anyway.
