Which statement about International Reply Coupon (IRC) is true?

• A. It cannot be used for international mail
• B. It Allows Senders to Prepay for a Reply
• C. It Is Used for Domestic Mail Only
• D. It Expires After One Month

Answer: (B)

International Reply Coupons are prepaid postage instruments that the sender purchases to cover the postage for a reply from the recipient’s country. When you include one with international mail, the person who receives it can exchange the coupon in their own country for postage to send a reply back to you. This lets you obtain a response without needing to know or pay the recipient’s local rates. The idea that coupons cannot be used for international mail isn’t correct—the whole purpose of an IRC is to facilitate international replies. It isn’t for domestic mail only, and expiration dates are set by the issuing country, not a universal one-month limit. So the true statement is that it allows senders to prepay for a reply.
