Question

priya received an e - mail that appears to be from a social media website she has an account with. the e - mail asks her to confirm that she received the e - mail by replying with her password. what should priya do?

• ignore the e - mail and delete it
• reply with her password
• reply without including her password
• ask her friends how they responded

Explanation:

This is a question about online security and safe practices. Social media or legitimate websites never ask for passwords via email as it's a common phishing tactic. Ignoring and deleting the email is the safest action to avoid compromising account security. Replying with the password risks account theft, replying without password still engages with a suspicious email, and asking friends is not a secure or relevant solution.

Answer:

A. Ignore the e - mail and delete it
