UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statement B is the only wrong statement because sharing passwords and ignoring privacy settings actually increase vulnerability to cyberbullying and other abuses. A, C and D correctly describe the nature of cyberbullying, steps in reporting incidents and institutional responses. Safe practices emphasise protecting accounts and configuring privacy settings carefully. Therefore, the option that selects only B as wrong is the correct answer.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it treats A and B as wrong. A is a standard definition of cyberbullying and should not be classified as incorrect, so pairing it with B misidentifies a correct statement as wrong.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups B and C as wrong statements. C is correct in recommending preservation of evidence for reporting, so including it among wrong statements contradicts good practice.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it isolates B, the unsafe recommendation, as the sole wrong statement and implicitly recognises A, C and D as accurate. It reinforces the importance of secure behaviour and institutional policies in addressing cyberbullying.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it lists A, B and C as wrong, misclassifying both the definition of cyberbullying and the value of evidence. Since only B is actually wrong, this combination cannot be accepted.
