Why each option
Sending login credentials via email is the most likely violation of an email security policy due to the high risk of interception and compromise of authentication data.
Transmitting login credentials, such as usernames and passwords, via email poses a significant security risk because email is often not encrypted in transit, making it vulnerable to interception and credential compromise. This practice typically violates security policies designed to protect sensitive authentication information.
Project schedules, while sensitive, do not typically carry the same critical security risk as login credentials when transmitted via email.
Customer product information may be sensitive, but without context of personally identifiable information, it usually presents a lower risk than login credentials.
Technical installation documents can be sensitive, but sending them via email is generally less of a direct policy violation or immediate security risk than exposing authentication credentials.
