If an unknown email asks for a password to view exam results, what is the correct step?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Do not send password and verify the source
An unexpected request for a password may be a phishing attempt. The student should not reply with credentials or open a suspicious link; instead, the sender and website should be checked through an official, independently known channel. Passwords are private and should not be shared. Forwarding the message can expose others, so C is the safest responsible action.
