Explanation:

To avoid spreading misinformation online, one must verify the credibility of content before reposting. Investigating the source, seeking additional reliable coverage, and tracing the claim's origin are evidence-based ways to confirm accuracy. Other options rely on untrustworthy indicators (likes), secondhand opinions, or irrelevant actions, which do not validate the content's truth.
