DS160 question regarding overstay for H4 visa appointment

I am currently on H4 visa that expires on December 2025. I need to obtain a new stamp. I needed a few clarifications regarding the following DS160 question ,


"have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a U.S. visa?"

When I had gone for my previous H4 stamping(drop box), I had answered "yes" to this question because I could not leave the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic and ended up overstaying. I was called in for an in person interview but my visa stamp was eventually granted(which has expired recently). 

I have not overstayed my current visa period so what do I need to answer for this question ?
