Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Internet etiquette is the set of social conventions that guide respectful, responsible, and clear communication in online spaces. The word “netiquette” is formed from “network” and “etiquette.”
Application
The stem asks for the established term for rules of courteous and responsible conduct on the Internet. That established term is “netiquette.”
Contrast
“Net protocol” concerns technical rules for exchanging data between systems.
“Net ethics” is a broad phrase for moral principles in digital contexts.
“Net morality” is a general phrase for moral standards applied to online conduct.
Cross-check
Expanding the word as “network etiquette” reproduces the idea expressed in the stem, so the answer is netiquette.
