Let 𝑋 be a separable metrizable space. An intersection of clopen subsets of $X$ is called a C-set.

Question. If each singleton of $X$ is a C-set, $A\subseteq X$ is closed and countable, $x\in X$,$x\in X\setminus A,\,$ and $A\cup \{x\}$ is a C-set, then is there a clopen subset of $X$ containing $A$ and missing $x$?

This question may be connected to Is there an almost strongly zero-dimensional space which is not strongly zero-dimensional and Do $G_\delta$-measurable maps preserve dimension?.
