    Correct Answer
    A. Power
    Explanation
    Information is power. If you give yours up, anyone can control you. This means that having access to knowledge and information gives individuals a certain level of control and influence. When someone willingly gives up their information, they become vulnerable to manipulation and control by others.

    Correct Answer
    A. Isolating them from friends/family
    Explanation
    Isolating victims from friends and family is one way a predator may try to control them. By cutting off their support system, the predator increases their control over the victim, making it easier to manipulate and exploit them. This isolation can make the victim more vulnerable and dependent on the predator, as they may feel like they have no one else to turn to for help or support.
