    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A long email can be overwhelming and time-consuming to read, causing the recipient to lose interest and stop reading.

    The statement is false because the person receiving the email does not need to be online in order to receive the email. Emails are stored on the email server until the recipient logs in and retrieves them. Once the recipient is online, they can access their email and receive any new messages that have been sent to them. Therefore, being online is not a requirement for receiving emails.

The security of emails depends on various factors such as the strength of the email provider's security measures, the user's own security practices, and the specific targeting by hackers. Therefore, not all emails are automatically at risk of being stolen or modified.
