• A. Control of
• B. Navigation of
• C. Stabilization of
• D. Monitoring of

Answer: (A)

The important idea is pilot authority over the aircraft when the autopilot is active. The flight controller can handle keeping the aircraft stable and following a route, but it also needs to preserve the pilot’s ability to influence or override the flight if needed. Saying the pilot has control of the aircraft captures that automatic flight can be interrupted or guided manually, which is why this option fits best. The other terms describe what autopilot does (stabilization, navigation) or what might be monitored, rather than the pilot’s ability to actively influence the aircraft.
