Explanation

A SPAM quarantine exists specifically to catch and hold false positives - legitimate messages that were incorrectly classified as spam by the anti-spam engine. Without a quarantine, those messages would be dropped, causing business disruption. The quarantine gives users a chance to review and recover misclassified mail. True positives (A) are actual spam correctly identified - these should be deleted, not quarantined for recovery. False negatives (B) are spam that slipped through, which a quarantine does not address. True negatives (D) are clean mail correctly delivered - no action needed. The quarantine's value is entirely in protecting against false positives (C).
