Email netiquette and safety – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C correctly outline important aspects of email netiquette and safety, whereas statement D is clearly incorrect. A meaningful subject line, avoidance of sharing sensitive data and respectful language are all best practices in email communication. In contrast, attachments from unknown senders can carry malware or phishing attempts and are not automatically safe. Thus, the combination containing A, B and C only is the correct set of statements.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B and omits C. While A and B are true, C is also correct in emphasising the role of respectful and concise language in email netiquette. Leaving out C means the option does not include all correct statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups A, C and D together as correct. Statement D is wrong, since unknown attachments may contain security threats despite email protections. Including D alongside A and C makes this combination partially false.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it brings together A, B and C, which are all valid guidelines for safe and polite email use. It excludes the dangerous advice in statement D about trusting all attachments. This balance between clarity, caution and courtesy matches recommended email practices.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats B, C and D as correct, thus accepting D. Although B and C are true, statement D misleads users into ignoring basic security precautions. A correct option must reject that claim.
