Answer»

The correct option is (d) TWO UAs and two MTAs

For explanation I would say: The sender’s User Agent (UA) submits the message to a Message Transfer Agent (MTA). Then the MTA sends the message to another MTA i.e. a mail RELAY. Then the RECEIVER receives the message from the mail relay WHENEVER it is AVAILABLE.
