This is not the most likely choice. It would be unusual for Donna to "forward" (or transfer) these unwanted emails to her friends.
This is not the most likely choice. SPAM emails are usually sent out in mass by computer programs therefore it is pointless trying to respond.
This is not the most likely choice. It is impossible to eat electronic SPAM! Although the origin of the word comes from the company Hormel SPiced Ham which you can still eat! The term was used to describe unwanted mail sent in mass after the famous Monty Python sketch where the word SPAM is repeated endlessly.
This is not the most likely choice. It is possible to prioritize messages in an inbox by labelling them with different colours (red for urgent, green for personal etc). It would be unlikely for Donna to label unwanted SPAM email as "important".
This is correct. SPAM is unsolicited email, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups. It is usually of no interest to the receiver therefore is normally "deleted" or "put in the trash".
