Riya receives an email from an unknown sender with a link asking her to change her password immediately. What should she do to practise safe digital behaviour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Avoid clicking the link and verify the message through the organisation's official website or contact channel
An urgent password request from an unknown sender is a common phishing warning sign. Riya should not use the embedded link or disclose her password; she should independently type the organisation's official web address or contact its known support channel. This verifies the request without trusting the suspicious message, so C is correct.
