Doriginates at the amplifier and delivered to the power unit
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) originates at the power unit and delivered to the amplifier. The rudder angle repeatback signal originates at the power unit, which is the device that provides the electrical power to operate the rudder system. This signal is then delivered to the amplifier, which processes and amplifies the signal before sending it to other components in the system. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The amplifier does not generate the rudder angle signal, it receives it from the power unit. C) The power unit, not the amplifier, is the source of the rudder angle signal. D) The amplifier receives the signal from the power unit, not the other way around.
