The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Explanation: The rolling moment due to sideslip refers to the aircraft's tendency to roll when it yaws off its intended path. When a sideslip occurs, it affects the distribution of aerodynamic forces on the wings.
The dihedral effect is the concept describing how a dihedral angle in an aircraft's wing design contributes to stability. If one wing dips, the dihedral wing geometry increases lift on the down-going wing and decreases it on the up-going wing, creating a rolling moment that corrects the slip.
Correct Answer: Dihedral effect
