Explanation
An internet troll is someone who deliberately posts inflammatory or off-topic messages to provoke a reaction or disrupt a discussion. They participate with the intention of causing trouble rather than genuine engagement. Option C correctly defines this behavior. Option B is incorrect because trolls settle in places to cause disruption, and Option D is wrong because trolls are different from spammers.
