Explanation:

To prevent cyberbullying, a proactive and responsible action is needed. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Helping the classmate report the comments to a teacher is a proper way to address the cyberbullying as it involves seeking help from an authority figure to stop the bullying.
• Option 2: Ignoring the inappropriate comments does not solve the problem and the bullying may continue.
• Option 3: Posting inappropriate comments about other classmates is unethical and will only escalate the bullying situation, not prevent it.
• Option 4: Reminding the classmate that bullying is part of growing up is wrong as bullying is not an acceptable part of development and this response does not address the issue of stopping the cyberbullying.
