PaCO2 increased is the definition of Respiratory Acidosis; Compensation of Metabolic Alkalosis can cause Respiratory Acidosis. in case of metabolic acidosis the body will try to compensate by increasing ventilation to decrease PCO2 (blow it out) . so this answer is incorrect the correct answer is metabolic alkalosis with compensation referring to regulation of breathing slides if there is high ph the peripheral chemoreceptors will sense this change and send the signals to CNS and inhibit the DRG so it will decrease the ventilation rate causing hypoventilation. By doing this the body will exhale less pco2 and save it as it needs it to balance the PH.
