Solution

The correct option is D Cyber stalking
Cyberstalking and cyberbullying are two of the cybercrimes that are not very uncommon in today's society. Shalini can report the incident to the cyberpolice, who will be able to track down and stop the perpetrator. To prevent this from happening again in future, she can privatise her social media account.
