D
None of the above
Correct Answer: Spam
Unsolicited e‐mail is called Spam. Spam is electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited email. However, if a long-lost brother finds your email address and sends you a message, this could hardly be called spam, even though it is unsolicited.
