The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A False Negative occurs when a spam email is mistakenly classified as legitimate, meaning the model fails to identify it as spam. This is problematic because spam emails are allowed through the system and could lead to unwanted consequences, such as security breaches or spam content being delivered to the user’s inbox. In contrast, False Positives occur when legitimate emails are incorrectly flagged as spam.
