Its B, but it was sent by "sonic306-20.navigator.mail.company.com", not yahoo. The google server is to be expected since "to" is a gmail.com email. (It's like by-direction-of) Just check your own gmail headers.

The google there is expected since it’s sent to a google mail, that’s the delivery. It’s the sonic address that does not correspond with senders yahoo email.

unbelievable what a lack of attention on your part! Sonic306 is not an email address but a server through which the email passed, if you have GMAIL, open an email and look in the header. Received: from mail1.static.mailgun.info (mail1.static.mailgun.info. [104.130.122.1]) by mx.google.com with UTF8SMTPS id r9-20020a05622a034900b003f52c2fa74dsi4072172qtw.146.2023.05.22.09.48.04 for <[email protected]>
