Gotta be option D. Opening email attachments is like playing Russian roulette with your network security. I'd rather wrestle a hungry lion than click on one of those things.

I agree, option D is definitely the riskiest.

Option D all the way! Those email attachments are like the digital equivalent of that suspicious-looking package your neighbor left on your doorstep. Hard pass!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Viewing HTML docs can be risky, but those email attachments are just begging to unleash a virus. Maybe I should start using a hazmat suit for my daily email check.
