Which of the following is the best meaning of the business jargon 'blind copy' (bcc) when Neha sends a tender notice to five vendors and also bcc's her legal head?
With bcc, the legal head receives the email, but his name and address are hidden from the vendors, who cannot see that he was copied. Open copying, where every recipient can see the address, is what cc does.
- AThe legal head gets the mail but the vendors do not see that he was copiedCorrect
- BThe legal head gets the mail and every vendor can see his address
- CThe vendors receive the mail without knowing each other's identity but the legal head sees all
- DThe legal head receives the mail only after the vendors reply
Explanation
A bcc recipient receives the message, but the bcc name is not shown to the other recipients. The second option describes cc. The third mixes up hiding the vendors with hiding the bcc person, since vendors listed in 'To' are visible to each other. Timing of delivery has nothing to do with bcc.
