A pilot was flying a single engine propeller aircraft and maintaining a steady level flight at a lift coefficient, $C_{L}=0.5$ at an altitude of $500 \mathrm{~m}$. Due to some emergency, at the same altitude $(500 \mathrm{~m})$ the pilot had to fully deploy the landing gear. If the pilot wants to maintain steady level flight at the same $C_{L}=0.5$ and at the same altitude, which of the following control actions should the pilot undertake:
(A) move the elevator up, and decrease the throttle
(B) move the elevator up, and increase the throttle
(C) move the elevator down, and decrease the throttle
(D) move the elevator down, and increase the throttle
