(c) Angular velocity of spin

(d) No change occurs

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

Right choice is (d) No change occurs

The explanation is: Since the axis of precession is parallel to the axis of spin during rolling, the gyroscopic couple causes no change in motion of the ship, Hence no change occurs.
