Selected Answer: C
C. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) will best mitigate this issue. SPF is a type of email authentication method that verifies the legitimacy of an email message by checking the sender's domain against a list of authorized IP addresses. By implementing SPF, an organization can reduce the likelihood that an email from their domain will be flagged as spam, even if it comes from an unauthorized source.
