    A. Tell a grown-up so they can contact your Internet service provider
    Explanation
    If you receive an email that makes you feel weird, it is important to tell a grown-up so they can contact your Internet service provider. This is because the Internet service provider can investigate the email and take appropriate action if it is found to be harmful, spam, or a potential threat. It is crucial to involve a responsible adult who can handle the situation and ensure your safety online. Deleting the email may not address the issue, and forwarding it to friends or responding with a mean email can escalate the situation or potentially put others at risk.
