Frank should use the "Reply" option. This will send his acknowledgment only to the original sender and not to all the other recipients. Option A, "Acknowledge," is not a valid response option in Outlook. Option C, "Reply All," would send Frank's acknowledgment to all the recipients, which is not what he wants. Option D, "Forward," would send the message to someone else, not acknowledging receipt of the original message.
