    Solution

    Explanation: When an email is sent, the recipients in different fields (To, Cc, and Bcc) have different visibility rules: To (Direct Recipients): The email is directly addressed to these recipients. All recipients (To, Cc) can see the email addresses in this field. Cc (Carbon Copy - Courtesy Copy): The email is also sent to these recipients. Everyone in To and Cc can see the email addresses in these fields. Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy - Hidden Copy): The email is sent to these recipients, but they are hidden from all other recipients. The recipients in Bcc can see the email itself but cannot see the list of Bcc recipients. People in To and Cc do not know who is in Bcc. Applying this to the Given Scenario: Email Fields in the Question: To: ram@test.com Cc: raj@test.com, ravi@test.com Bcc: swami@test.com, rama@test.com When Swami receives the email: He will see the To and Cc fields because all recipients (To, Cc) are visible to everyone. To: ram@test.com Cc: raj@test.com, ravi@test.com Swami will NOT see any Bcc recipients, including himself (swami@test.com) and rama@test.com. This is because Bcc recipients are hidden from all others, including each other. Correct Answer Selection: From the given options: ram@test.com (Incomplete, does not include Cc addresses) ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com  (Correct, includes To and Cc) ram@test.com; rama@test.com  (Incorrect, Swami cannot see Bcc addresses) ram@test.com; rama@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com  (Incorrect, includes a Bcc address) raj@test.com; ravi@test.com (Incomplete, does not include the To field) Correct Answer: "ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com"
