Answer: (A)

Using technology to bully or intimidate someone is cyberbullying. It involves harassing or threatening a person through digital channels—social media, messaging apps, forums, or other online platforms—often over time to cause fear, humiliation, or distress. This term specifically describes targeted abusive behavior toward an individual online or via connected devices. It’s distinct from cyberwarfare, which refers to large-scale, organized attacks between groups or nations; from cost analysis, which is about evaluating financial implications; and from confidentiality, which concerns keeping information private and secure. Recognizing cyberbullying helps in understanding the impact on victims and the importance of digital ethics and appropriate responses.
