If a message uses fear-spreading language and gives no source, what should be done before forwarding it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Check the source and facts
Fear-based language can pressure people to share before thinking, while the absence of a source makes the claim difficult to verify. A responsible user should identify the original source, compare the claim with reliable information, and check its date and context before forwarding. Immediate sharing or replying with a password increases risk, so B is correct.
