I’m not sure about option B either. I know we shouldn't trust numbers in emails, but is that really the incorrect statement here?

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and I think option C about reviewing statements is always a good practice, so it must be correct.

I'm a bit unsure about option D. I thought antivirus software could help, but can it really catch all phishing attempts?

I remember discussing how important it is not to reply to suspicious emails, so I think option A is definitely correct.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Does "Each correct answer represents a complete solution" mean I need to select all three correct answers, or just any three? I'll try to analyze the options and make my best guess.

Okay, I think I've got it. First, I'll click the slicer I want to share, then in the Slicer Connections dialog box, I'll select the PivotTables I want the slicer to be available in.
