    If you received this email and wanted to respond to the sender, which would be the best method? - ProProfs

    If you received this email and wanted to respond to the sender, which would be the best method?

    • Forward this message to the sender

    • Create a new message to the sender

    • Reply to the sender

    • Cc: the sender

    Correct Answer
    A. Reply to the sender
    Explanation
    The best method to respond to the sender would be to reply to the sender directly. This ensures that the response is sent directly to the person who sent the email, maintaining a clear and efficient communication channel. Forwarding the message to the sender or creating a new message would create unnecessary duplication and confusion, while cc'ing the sender might not guarantee that they receive the response directly.
