UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Email attachments are files that are encoded and transmitted along with the main email body so that recipients can download and open them. They are commonly used to share documents, images, audio or other digital materials in a single message. Most email clients provide clear buttons to add or remove attachments. Therefore the additional files described in the stem are called attachments.

Option A:
Option A is correct because the term "attachment" is standard in email terminology and appears directly in user interfaces. Users are typically warned about the size and security implications of attachments, underscoring their distinct status compared to plain text content.

Option B:
Option B, signatures, are blocks of text automatically appended to the end of an email, often containing contact information. They are not arbitrary files and are configured separately from attachments.

Option C:
Option C, headers, contain technical metadata such as sender, receiver, subject and routing information. Although crucial for delivery, they are not user-added extra files.

Option D:
Option D, filters, are rules that automatically sort or manage incoming mail and do not refer to files being sent.
