I agree with Harley. Option A is the textbook definition of email spoofing. It's a way for attackers to impersonate a trusted sender and trick recipients.

I'm not sure, but I think B) The criminal act of sending an illegitimate email, falsely claiming to be from a legitimate site in an attempt to acquire the user's personal or account information, could also be a form of email spoofing.

Option A seems to be the correct answer. Email spoofing is all about forging the email header to make it look like it's from a different source.

I agree with Delpha, email spoofing is definitely about forging the email header to make it look like it's from a different source.

I think the answer is A) The forgery of an email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or somewhere other than the actual source.
