The FIN flag is obviously used to close a TCP connection. I mean, what else would it be for? Closing connections is like networking 101, people.

Ha! I bet it's A - used to abort a connection abruptly. Wouldn't that be a fun way to end a TCP session?

Hmm, I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards D. Isn't FIN used to indicate the start of a connection? Gotta double-check my notes.

I think it's C - used to acknowledge receipt of a previous packet. Sounds like a common TCP flag to me.
