1 Answer
Verified archiveThe correct answer is D trail names a hiker receives on the Appalachian Trail.
Explanation: NOBO (Northbound), SOBO (Southbound), and flip-flopping refer to the different hiking directions or styles that hikers may adopt when completing the Appalachian Trail. A NOBO hiker starts in Georgia and travels north to Maine, a SOBO hiker starts in Maine and travels south to Georgia, and a flip-flopper typically starts in one direction and then changes to the other direction partway through their hike.
