Explanation

Educating students about cyber-ethics and the consequences of harmful online behavior (D) addresses the root cause - a lack of awareness and empathy - making it the most sustainable and scalable solution that empowers students to self-regulate. Option A (monitoring all activity) is impractical, invasive, and doesn't change behavior; it also raises serious privacy concerns. Option B is counterproductive because framing cyberbullying as "freedom of expression" would normalize harmful conduct rather than discourage it. Option C (blocking Internet access at school) is overly restrictive, doesn't prepare students for responsible use outside school, and simply shifts the problem elsewhere.

Memory tip: Think "prevention over restriction" - the best long-term solution teaches why behavior is wrong, not just blocks the opportunity to do it. Education = sustainable; surveillance/blocking = temporary.
