And I would read that as "both wings are stalled"... It's a very poorly
written question or very well written (depending on your point-of-view).
I consider it poorly written because the answer is not clear in the
training materials AND not clear on the exam.

According to the Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA-H-8083-3, in its discussion
of spins, "the rising wing is less stalled than the descending wing..."
which indicates to me that answer C is correct. "Less stalled than" means
that some lift is being developed.

This is not a black-and-white answer, though...it has been haggled over for
decades.

Which statement is true concerning the aerodynamic
conditions which occur during a spin entry?
A) After a full stall, both wings remain in a stalled
condition throughout the rotation.
B) After a partial stall, the wing that drops remains in a
stalled condition while the rising wing regains and
continues to produce lift, causing the rotation.
C) After a full stall, the wing that drops continues in a
stalled condition while the rising wing regains and
continues to produce some lift, causing the rotation.
