Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
False or misleading header information and the absence of a functioning opt-out mechanism are core CAN-SPAM violations under 15 USC 7701, and wilful large-scale violations can be prosecuted criminally under 18 USC 1037. The campaign's practices attack exactly the honesty and consumer-choice requirements the Act exists to enforce, so the violation is direct rather than incidental.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) the Telemarketing Sales Rule governs telephone solicitations, not email.
- C) the Fair Credit Reporting Act governs consumer credit reports, not marketing email.
- D) the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act concerns genetic information in health coverage and employment, not email practices.
Memory hook
Fake from-line, no opt-out, CAN-SPAM.
