I bet the Frame Control field is used for something important, like communicating the frame type or other crucial info. I'm going to go with B, it sounds the most comprehensive.

Haha, if the Frame Control field was always set to 0, why even have it in the header? That's just silly.

Setting the Frame Control field to 0? That can't be right, it must have some important information in it. I'm going with B on this one.

Control frames have a Frame Control field, so A is not the correct statement.

The Frame Control field is used to communicate the duration value, so it can't be set to 0.

Yeah, I agree. It's definitely not always set to 0, there's important information in there.

I think B is correct, the Frame Control field does contain three sub-fields and eight one-bit flags.

Hmm, I thought the Frame Control field was used to set the duration value for the frame. Looks like I need to review that part of the 802.11 spec.

The Frame Control field is definitely more complex than just a simple on/off flag. I'm pretty sure it has multiple sub-fields and flags.
