A manager wants to send a copy of a purchase email to the finance head for information only, without the supplier knowing that the finance head has received it. Which field should be used for the finance head's address?
The finance head's address should be placed in the Bcc field. Bcc, or blind carbon copy, delivers the message without revealing that recipient to the others. Cc would make the copy visible to the supplier, and To is meant for primary addressees.
- ATo
- BCc
- CBccCorrect
- DSubject
Explanation
Bcc (blind carbon copy) sends a copy to a recipient whose address is not visible to the other recipients. Cc would openly show the finance head's address to the supplier. The To field is for primary recipients, and the Subject field is not an address field.
