(A) before the body of letter
(B) below the date
(C) on the envelope
(D) not written

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A Only

B Only

C Only

D Only

Correct Answer:

C Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → C Only

Explanation of all options:

(A) "Before the body of the letter" refers to the salutation and the subject line, which are typically written before the main body of the letter. This is not related to superscription.

(B) "Below the date" is incorrect. The date is usually written at the beginning of a letter, but the superscription is specifically related to addressing the envelope, not the letter itself.

(C) "On the envelope" is the correct answer. The superscription refers to the address written on the envelope, including the recipient's name, address, and any additional information such as "Attention:" or "C/O."

(D) "Not written" is incorrect. The superscription is an essential part of addressing a letter or package when sending it through mail. It must be written to ensure the proper delivery of the mail.
