I am 95% sure 1CD is blocked out on this equipment.
I recently flew BNA-ORD on an E175 and myself and my travel companion had cleared into 2A/4A and 1CD were empty. I asked if we could switch to 1CD and the FA said those seats were blocked for social distancing reasons.
This also explains the GA asking if it was OK with the crew, since the blocking would be for the FA's protection.
It is possible only 1C is blocked.
