Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Click "Sign Out" or "Log Out" and make sure the computer doesn't "Remember" your password.

Explanation: If you only close the window, the next person who sits down might be able to open the browser and go straight into your email without a password! This is called Session Hijacking. Signing Out tells the website to "forget" you were there, keeping your private messages safe.
