• bullying.
• cyberbullying.
• cyber stalking.
• stalking.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Bullying: Usually involves physical or verbal abuse in person. Here, the abuse is via text messages, so not just bullying.
• Cyberbullying: Involves using digital technology (like text messages) to harass, threaten, or embarrass someone. Teammates sending mean texts to a group fits this.
• Cyberstalking: Involves repeated, unwanted contact online to frighten or harass, often with obsession. This is mean texts but not necessarily stalking behavior.
• Stalking: Repeated, unwanted contact in person to frighten, which doesn't match here.

Answer:

B. cyberbullying
