The Correct Answer is: A Explanation : When an email is sent to a network with SPF checking enabled, the recipient email server validates the sender’s domain against the published SPF record. That is, it confirms that the IP address of the sending server is on the allowed list for the domain; if it does not match, SPF verification will fail.

its a uses source address spoofing. SPF allows administrators to specify only those hosts which are allowed to send email from a given domain, as specified in a specific DNS SPF record in the public DNS. If email for a domain is sent from a host not listed in the DNS SPF, it will be considered spam and blocked
