I vaguely recall that FIN is used to signal the end of a session, but I might confuse it with SYN, which is for starting.

I feel like FIN could also be about starting a connection, but that doesn't seem right. I should have reviewed those flags more.

I remember practicing a question about TCP flags, and I think FIN indicates the end of a connection, so it might be option B.

I think FIN is related to closing a TCP connection, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only way to do that.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The FIN flag is used to indicate the end of data transmission, so it must be for closing the connection, not aborting it. I'll go with B.

The FIN flag is definitely used to close a TCP connection, not to abort it abruptly. That's what the RST flag is for. I'm confident in option B.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between the FIN flag and the RST flag. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to handle the exceptions that the code might throw. Based on the code, I'll go with option C to catch both FileNotFoundException and IOException.

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.

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.
