What is the first way to communicate courtesy to a telephone caller?

  1. Ask who is calling

  2. Put them on hold

  3. Answer promptly, identify yourself, and ask how you may help them

  4. Reply only if you recognize the caller

The correct answer is: Answer promptly, identify yourself, and ask how you may help them

A and D may be incorrect because they do not involve showing courtesy to the caller. A is simply asking for the caller's identity, while D involves not responding unless the caller is recognized. B may be incorrect because putting the caller on hold without addressing them first can be perceived as impolite. C is the correct answer as it involves answering promptly with a friendly greeting, introducing oneself, and asking how one may assist the caller. This shows respect and consideration for the caller.
