Selected Answer: B
Correct answer is B: ports are open In a XMAS scan, if the ports are open no response are received. If the port are closed, an RST is received. https://upadhyayraj.medium.com/nmap-xmas-scan-idle-scan-fin-scan-null-scan-b95a5c73bef6

Selected Answer: D
The ports that do not give a response to an XMAS scan are considered in the "Filtered" state. This means that the ports are being protected by a firewall or some other security mechanism that is preventing Nmap from determining whether the port is open or closed.

When scanning systems compliant with this RFC text, any packet not containing SYN, RST, or ACK bits will result in a returned RST if the port is closed and no response at all if the port is open. NMAP guide https://nmap.org/book/scan-methods-null-fin-xmas-scan.html So it is open

B is right. If the port is closed it respond with RST, if it's open, no response.
