In normal flight, if the control wheel is moved to the left, then the aileron on
the right wing will - increase the angle of attack of the right hand wing.
Explanation. Could also be answered 'b', depending on whether it means the
cause or the effect. The downgoing aileron (the right one) has an increase in AoA
locally, which makes the wing lift, thusreducing the AoA of the wing as a whole.
