An e-mail that appears to originate from one source but actually has been sent from another
Answer: B
Such an e-mail is an example of Spoofing.
E-mail spoofing forges the sender's address in the message header, so that the mail appears to come from one source when it was actually sent by someone else.
Phishing is the wider fraud of tricking people into revealing passwords or bank details, which often uses spoofed mail but is not the same thing. Spamming is sending bulk unsolicited messages, and sniffing is intercepting data travelling over a network.
