A Correct answer
Explanation

Online communication lacks non-verbal cues like facial expressions and tone of voice. This absence makes it significantly harder to convey intent and increases the risk of misinterpretation compared to face-to-face interaction. Cursing is generally discouraged, and anonymity does not excuse bad behavior.
