An electronic engine control (EEC) is a system that receives engine operating information and

adjusts a standard hydromechanical fuel control unit to obtain the most effective engine operation.
develops the commands to various actuators to control engine parameters.
controls engine operation according to ambient temperature, pressure, and humidity.
monitors the air-fuel mixture in real-time.

The correct answer is: develops the commands to various actuators to control engine parameters.

The electronic engine control (EEC) system is responsible for receiving engine operating information and determining the optimal settings for engine performance. Option A is incorrect because a hydromechanical fuel control unit adjusts the fuel supply, not the overall engine operation. Option C is also incorrect as the EEC does not specifically control based on ambient conditions, but it takes all relevant factors into account when making its decisions. Option D is incorrect because the EEC is not specifically monitoring the air-fuel mixture, but rather all engine parameters. Option B is the most accurate choice as it encompasses the main functions of the EEC system by developing commands for various actuators to control the engine parameters.
