Explanation:

The word "autonomous" generally means self - governing or operating independently without external control. For Part 1, "functioning without human input" best captures this meaning. For Part 2, the clue should be something that shows independence or self - sufficiency. Option C mentions that the ground computer can give instructions when needed, implying that the APH has some level of independent operation until then.

Answer:

Part 1: B. functioning without human input
Part 2: C. "The ground computer can relay instructions and detailed adjustments to the APH as needed."
