In an email, which field is used to send a copy to a person whose address the other recipients cannot see?
- A.To
- B.Cc
- C.Bcc
- D.Subject
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Bcc. Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. An address typed there receives the letter, but it is hidden from everyone else on the list, and the people in Bcc cannot see one another either. Offices use it to circulate a notice to many people without exposing their addresses.
Option A, To, holds the main recipients, and every address in it is visible to all. Option B, Cc, stands for carbon copy and sends a copy for information, but those addresses are shown to everyone, which is exactly the difference the question is testing. Option D, Subject, is the heading of the letter and carries no address at all. Learn the pair together: Cc is an open copy and Bcc is a hidden copy.
