Correct answer: A. Mention the attachment and explain its purpose

  • A. Mention the attachment and explain its purpose
  • B. Assume the recipient notices it automatically
  • C. Send the attachment without any message
  • D. Use an attachment with an unrelated filename

Explanation

Mentioning the attachment and its purpose tells the recipient what to open and why it matters. A clear filename also helps, but it does not replace mentioning the attachment in the message.
