Answer 1

Answer: d. leaves the sender's control.

Explanation:

Under the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act(UETA), there are three conditions that must be met for an e-record to be considered sent and the relevant one here is that the e-record leaves the control of the sender.

It does this by entering into an information processing system that the sender does not control of.

The other requirements demand that the e-record be properly addressed to a system specified by the recipient and this system must be able to process said e-record.
