Selected Answer: D
When a user receives an email with a self-signed certificate, the email client will typically show a warning or error message if the certificate is not valid. One of the possible causes of this warning is if the root certificate was not installed in the trusted store. This means that the client doesn't trust the certificate and, as a result, it is not able to establish a secure connection with the sender's email server. This will cause a warning message to be displayed to the user.

Agreed. If the root cert is not available to chain up, then you will get an error for sure.
