ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 35
ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 35 of 100
Statements B and D describe a chain-letter email. Its text urges recipients to forward the message to many more people, causing repeated propagation and unnecessary load on mail servers, networks, storage, and recipients.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- A describes legitimate group communication and information sharing, not a chain letter
- C says the same message is repeatedly replied to, whereas a chain letter is characterized by forwarding it onward
Key rule: A chain letter asks each recipient to redistribute it, creating multiplying traffic without a legitimate operational need.
