JT, with fast fading memories (except of those 'testing' visits to the grass) there is little more to add technically to your views (D).
However, interest remains as to why the question is asked in examinations, why contextual ambiguity - ground/air, fin damping, rudder control, ….
To what objective.
What are pilots expected to recall as a result of the question, and most importantly does this mask what is really important in everyday operation.
A cynical view would entertain that those setting the question did not have the same understanding as reflected in this discussion.
