Answer»

The correct choice is (B) Autopilot provides FBW commands of roll, pitch, and yaw

The explanation is: The autopilot is like an artificial PILOT system which flies the aircraft under a set of constraints. It provides STEERING commands such as roll, pitch and yaw rates to the FBW system. FBW system ensures that response to the autopilot commands is FAST and well DAMPED, providing smooth control of aircraft in autopilot modes.
