If an email has the correct attachment but the wrong recipient is selected, what is the most serious risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Confidential information may reach the wrong person
Choosing the wrong recipient can send the email and its attachment to an unauthorised person. If the material contains personal, private, or sensitive information, this may cause a privacy breach, loss of trust, or a data-security problem. The selected recipient does not automatically change the attachment’s size, repair the subject line, or improve the tone. Hence, the most serious risk is described in option B.
