Explanation

Educating students about cyber-ethics (D) is correct because it addresses the root cause - a lack of understanding about appropriate online behavior and its real-world consequences - empowering students to make better choices independently, which is a sustainable and scalable solution.

• A is wrong because mass surveillance of all student activity is impractical, raises serious privacy concerns, and doesn't actually teach students why certain behavior is harmful.
• B is wrong because framing cyberbullying as "freedom of expression" mischaracterizes the issue - free speech does not protect harassment, and this approach could normalize harmful behavior.
• C is wrong because blocking Internet access at school is avoidance, not education; students still access the Internet outside school and learn no skills for navigating it responsibly.

Memory tip: Think "Prevention over punishment" - the only answer that teaches rather than monitors, restricts, or mislabels the problem is D. If a choice sounds like a shortcut (block it, watch it, excuse it), it's likely wrong.
