Correct Answer: Option B — originates at the power unit and delivered to the amplifier
Closed-loop steering feedback control circuits require an actual position signal. As outlined in marine control engineering principles and IEEE 45 guidance, this repeatback signal originates at the steering gear power unit's feedback linkage and is delivered to the system amplifier to continuously verify rudder position alignment.
