Which term refers to the expected, polite behavior in online communications?

• A. Netiquette
• B. Net Neutrality
• C. Netlog
• D. Net security

Answer: (A)

Netiquette is the expected, polite behavior in online communications. It covers guiding principles for respectful and constructive interaction—being courteous, avoiding insults or harassment, thinking before posting, and respecting others’ privacy and opinions. This directly matches what the question is asking: how people should behave online in a courteous way. Other terms refer to different ideas: Net neutrality is about equal treatment of data on networks, not how people should behave; netlog isn’t a standard term for online conduct; net security focuses on protecting systems and information from threats. So netiquette best captures the idea of polite online behavior.
