This is the flip flop that can be set (1) or reset (2).

There are five flip flops in 8085:

1. Zero flag: set when the result or the content in an accumulation is 0.
2. Sign flag: set when the result is negative.
3. Auxiliary carry flag: set when D3 generates a carry for D4.
4. Parity flag: set to true when parity is even.
5. Carry flag: set when result generates carry.

Flag deals with 0's and 1's and hence it can be set or reset.

Are flags used to denote only the status of outputs or do they perform any rechecking operations or anything like that?

Usually flags contains only one bit.

Hence answer is flags.
