In a business letter written in the full block style, which of the following is true about the placement of its parts?
In the full block style every part of the letter starts at the left margin. Nothing is indented, including paragraphs, which makes the layout simple and quick to type. Indented paragraphs and right-aligned closings belong to other letter styles, not the full block format.

- CEach new paragraph is indented by five spaces
- DThe closing and signature are placed at the right margin
Explanation
In the full block style, every line, including the date, inside address, paragraphs and complimentary close, starts at the left margin. Paragraphs are not indented, so the indented option describes the indented style instead. Centre and right-margin placement belong to other styles.
