Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (SMTP lacks an adequate authentication mechanism).

Explanation:

Email spoofing seems to be the manufacture of such a header throughout the expectation that the receiver would be duped into believing the email came from others that is more than just the anticipated source.

  • It is likely since the SMTP doesn't have an authorization method for either the address.
  • While parameters and frameworks for combating email spoofing have already been established for authentication, implementation of those frameworks seems to have been late.
