Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 3

Key Points

The 'BCC' field in email composition is used to send copies of the email without revealing the other recipients' addresses.
BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy.
When you include an email address in the BCC field, the primary recipient and other BCC recipients will not see that email address.
This feature is useful for maintaining privacy among recipients.
It helps in preventing an email recipient from seeing the addresses of other recipients, which is particularly useful in business communications.

Additional Information

Other fields in email composition include 'To', 'CC', and 'Subject'.
The 'To' field is used for the main recipients of the email.
The 'CC' (Carbon Copy) field is used to send a copy of the email to additional recipients, whose email addresses are visible to all other recipients.
Using BCC can help to reduce the chances of recipients' email addresses being harvested for spam.
