Respuesta :

Answer:

The best possible is b

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. It implies wrongdoing

Explanation:

In language, it is common different words have similar or the same meaning but differ in their connotation or in the ideas people have about a word beyond its meaning. In the case presented the word "stalking" has a negative connotation as this word is linked to malicious purposes or obsession, which is the opposite to words such as look through or research that have a  positive or neutral connotation. This suggests, the applicant describes the action of the employer of researching his/her profile in social media as "stalking" because the job applicant believes this was morally or ethically wrong or because it implies wrongdoing from the perspective of the job applicant, probably because she/he believes this was not fair.
