B Ask them which school they go to first.

Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Do not tell them. This is "Private Information" that should never be shared with strangers.

In online communication, your school, home address, and full name are part of your Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Sharing your school helps a stranger track down exactly where you are in the real world. Keep it private!
