I am a bit confused about the following question:
For a given IAS and angle of aileron deflection, increasing altitude will:

A) increase the rate of roll [correct answer]
B) increase the rate of turn
C) reduce the rate of turn
D) reduce the rate of roll
Clearly A is correct because aerodynamic damping is less at high altitude, however, constant IAS means an increasing TAS which also reduces rate of turn.

What does examiner really want to ask here? I see two correct answers.
