Principles of Flightmedium#549

Adverse yaw is the tendency of the aircraft to yaw:

A

In the opposite direction to the intended turn due to differential drag between up and down ailerons

Correct
B

In the same direction as the roll

C

Nose up during a turn

D

Only at high speed

Explanation

The down-going aileron creates more lift and more induced drag than the up-going one, yawing the nose opposite to the turn direction.
