But, this is out of context. When someone says that they are analysing
AC and DC separately, they don't *really* mean that they are completely
oblivious and are ignoring the fact that, e.g. an inductor might
saturate if it has a DC current through it. They simple mean that, for
the ac analysis the dc level is not relevant and take it as already read
that such analyses is performed with the *correct* value of inductance
for the inductor.

But, since it's a test question, and "saturation flux density" wasn't
given as a parameter, I believe it's safe to surmise that the teacher
meant for the elements to be treated as ideal components.
