Answer

The commercial email campaign must include a clear opt-out method, provide a valid physical postal address, and the sender must honor any opt-out requests within 10 business days.
To comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, any commercial email must clearly explain how the recipient can opt out of future emails, include the sender's valid physical postal address, and ensure that the sender processes and honors all opt-out requests within 10 business days.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary regulatory framework applicable to the scenario.
The scenario describes a commercial email campaign, which is regulated by the federal CAN-SPAM Act.
Determining the correct law allows for the application of its specific compliance rules rather than confusing it with telemarketing or privacy laws.
2
Evaluate the options against the core mandates of the CAN-SPAM Act.
The requirements for a clear opt-out method, a physical postal address, and honoring opt-outs within 10 business days are all explicit CAN-SPAM mandates.
These are statutory requirements designed to protect consumers from deceptive and inescapable commercial emails.
3
Filter out requirements belonging to other federal regulations.
Privacy notices belong to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and Do Not Call Registry checks belong to telemarketing regulations (TCPA).
Federal regulations are distinct; combining their requirements leads to incorrect compliance assumptions.
