SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a standard Internet protocol for sending and receiving e-mail messages. When a user sends an e-mail, it is first placed in a queue on the SMTP server. From there, the server processes the message and delivers it to the intended recipient. This queue can be thought of as a post office, where messages are processed and sorted before being sent out to their final destination. Therefore, the best choice for this question is C) post office.
