A. Remove all nonalphanumeric characters before submitting data.

B. Use the email tag in forms where the email address is entered.

C. Display all email addresses inside of an HTML5 ADDRESS element.

D. Use jQuery validation with a regular expression to ensure that email addresses are valid.

E. Ensure that all form data is encrypted when it is submitted.
