What must the Postal Service preserve and protect?

• A. The security and sanctity of the mail
• B. Customer privacy
• C. Financial records
• D. Delivery routes

Answer: (A)

The main concept being tested is the Postal Service’s obligation to keep mail secure and untampered with as it moves through the system. The mail must arrive as addressed, with its contents intact, and without any unauthorized access. This is captured by preserving the security and sanctity of the mail—preventing loss, theft, or tampering and ensuring proper handling and delivery. Customer privacy is related but broader, while financial records and delivery routes pertain to other aspects of operations, not the fundamental duty to protect the mail itself.
