The Correct Answer Is: (A) Unsolicited e-mail
Explanation :
Spam refers to unsolicited, bulk, or irrelevant emails sent to a large number of recipients, usually for advertising, phishing, or spreading malware.
These emails are often sent without the recipient's consent and can contain fraudulent links, malicious attachments, or promotional content.
Spam emails are usually generated by automated bots and are commonly used for:
- Phishing scams (fraudulent attempts to steal personal information).
- Spreading malware or viruses through attachments.
- Unwanted advertisements promoting fake or dubious products.
- Financial fraud such as lottery scams or fake investment opportunities.
To protect against spam, email providers use spam filters, and users are advised not to click on unknown links or share personal information.
