Correct answer: C
Concept
Email recipient fields follow header-visibility rules. Addresses placed in To and Cc are ordinary recipient-header addresses and remain visible to recipients of the message.
Bcc means blind carbon copy. Delivery systems omit Bcc recipient addresses from the copies delivered to other recipients, which preserves their privacy.
Application
The first blank asks for fields whose addresses remain visible, while the second asks for the field whose recipient addresses are concealed. Applying the header rules gives To and Cc for the first blank and Bcc for the second.
Contrast
Cc is not a concealed-recipient field; its addresses remain visible in the delivered message header.
Bcc is not a visible-recipient field; its recipient addresses are withheld from other recipients.
To is not a concealed-recipient field; it identifies ordinary recipients in the visible header.
Cross-check
A message sent with one To recipient, one Cc recipient, and one Bcc recipient shows the To and Cc addresses on the delivered copies, while the Bcc address is not revealed to the other recipients. Therefore, To and Cc fill the visible-fields blank, and Bcc fills the hidden-field blank.
