Ground Control should forward requests to close VFR flight plans to which unit?

Explanation:
Closing a VFR flight plan is handled by the Flight Data unit because this unit manages flight plan information within the ATC system, including updating and terminating active plans. Ground Control relies on Flight Data to ensure the plan is properly closed as the flight ends, keeping the records and radar data consistent. Flight Service Station serves pilots for filing or obtaining weather and preflight information, not for closing plans within ATC, and Center or Tower are control facilities rather than the liaison responsible for finalizing flight plans in the system.
