UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The blind carbon copy (BCC) field lets a sender include recipients whose addresses are not visible to those in the To or CC fields. This helps protect privacy and prevent unnecessary exposure of email addresses. It is commonly used when sending messages to large groups where recipients should not reply to all. Hence, the hiding feature described in the stem corresponds to BCC.

Option A:
Option A, carbon copy, or CC, makes all additional recipients visible to each other and therefore does not provide anonymity. It serves a different purpose of transparency in communication.

Option B:
Option B is correct because standard email clients label the hidden-recipient field as BCC, indicating blind carbon copy, which precisely matches the function of hiding identity described in the question.

Option C:
Option C, reply all, is an action that sends a response to all visible recipients and can increase exposure rather than hide it.

Option D:
Option D, forwarding, sends a received message to new recipients but does not by itself conceal addresses among people in the same message.
