    A. In public settings such as chat rooms.
    Explanation
    Flaming typically occurs in public settings such as chat rooms because these platforms provide a level of anonymity and distance that can embolden individuals to engage in aggressive and offensive behavior. The lack of face-to-face interaction and the ability to hide behind a screen can lead to a disregard for social norms and a willingness to attack others verbally. This behavior is less likely to occur in private chats, at school, while hanging out with friends, or on social networking sites where individuals are more likely to be held accountable for their actions.
