Mohit sends an email from mohit to Bobby in the To field, Danny in the Cc field and Ashok in the Bcc field. Which of the following statements is correct?

ABobby and Danny are aware that Ashok received the email

BDanny is aware that Ashok and Bobby received the email

CAshok is aware that Bobby and Danny received the email ✓ Correct

DAll recipients are aware that the others received the email

Correct answer: (C) Ashok is aware that Bobby and Danny received the email

Explanation

A blind carbon copy recipient can see the To and Cc names, so Ashok in Bcc knows that Bobby in To and Danny in Cc also received the email.

Bobby and Danny cannot see the Bcc field, so they are unaware that Ashok received a copy, which makes the first choice wrong.

Danny sees Bobby and himself but not the hidden Ashok, so the claim that Danny knows about Ashok is wrong.

Because a Bcc recipient is concealed from the others, the recipients are not all aware of one another, so the all-aware choice is wrong.

The To field names the main recipient while Cc shares an open copy with additional people.

Cc means carbon copy, visible to everyone, whereas Bcc means blind carbon copy, hidden from all other recipients.
