✓ Correct answer: A. B onlyEstimator B is correct because the MAF sensor is a precision component that directly measures air entering the engine, which the ECU uses to calculate fuel requirements. Any damage affects accuracy and engine performance. Estimator A is incorrect because adhesive repairs to the housing would affect airflow readings and potentially introduce foreign materials into the sensor.
