I don't know, A seems risky. Scanning after opening?

I vaguely recall that making backups is important, but in this case, it seems like verifying the sender first is more relevant. So, D again?

I practiced a similar question where confirming the sender was crucial. I think D is definitely the best approach to avoid risks.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like scanning the file with anti-virus software first could help too. Maybe option A?
