Correct Answer: Option B — Operational control, safety control, and monitoring.

Marine gas turbine control systems are designed to manage the engine through three primary functions: operational control (governing speed and load), safety control (monitoring parameters like temperature and vibration to trigger automatic shutdowns), and monitoring (providing real-time data to the operator for situational awareness and performance analysis).
