Solution

The correct option is C False positives

The innocent E-mail that get mistakenly identified as Spams, while applying Spam filtering techniques are known as False positives.

Spam email is a form of commercial advertising which is economically viable because email is a very cost-effective medium for the sender. If just a fraction of the recipients of a spam message purchase the advertised product, the spammers are making money and the spam problem is perpetuated.

You can use a safe sender list or a mail flow rule to bypass spam filtering and prevent good email messages from getting marked as junk mail. When a message is incorrectly marked as spam by the spam filter, it's called a false positive.

This data set shows that as of 2018, there are about 124.5 billion business emails sent and received each day, while there are about 111.1 billion consumer emails sent and received each day. At a personal level, DMR reports show that the average office worker receives 121 emails per day.

Email spam, also known as junk email, is unsolicited messages sent in bulk by email (spamming). Most email spam messages are commercial in nature. Whether commercial or not, many contain disguised links that appear to be for familiar websites but in fact lead to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.
