Anita wants to send a circular email to 200 customers of her firm without revealing any customer's address to the others. Which field should she use to enter the customers' addresses?
She should use BCC, the blind carbon copy field, because addresses placed there are not visible to other recipients. Using To or CC would expose all 200 customers' email addresses to each other, breaching privacy, while the Subject field is not meant for addresses.
- ATo
- BCC
- CSubject
- DBCCCorrect
Explanation
BCC (blind carbon copy) hides recipients' addresses from one another, protecting privacy. Addresses in To or CC are visible to all recipients. Subject is not an address field.
