Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
The To and Cc headers identify recipients openly and are normally visible to every recipient. The Bcc field delivers a copy without exposing the Bcc recipient list to the other recipients.
Application
The To field contributes ram@test.com to the visible header.
The Cc field contributes raj@test.com and ravi@test.com to the visible header.
The Bcc delivery does not expose rama@test.com to swami@test.com; the two Bcc recipients are hidden from one another.
Cross-check
Combining the openly displayed To and Cc entries gives exactly ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com, while no other offered set follows the Bcc privacy rule.
Result
Swami can see ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com.
