A I believe...I think only the Sterling has the adjustment, so that knocks off C.

Calmer and Sterling...really bpdulog.

This is from a footnote in the CFAI reading and not addressed by any LOS. I would say maybe <1% chance this shows up on the actual exam.

If you know the "meat and potatotes" material like the back of your hand, its good practice, but I need to focus on the major stuff which will get me passed IMHO.
