Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which action best matches professional-level digital publishing norms? (Focus: privacy-aware sharing)

APost the volunteer contacts but add “do not spam” as a rule.

BShare the contacts only with strangers; classmates are the ones who might misuse it.

CCopy every phone number into the resource list so it is easier to contact people.

DLink to the official directory without copying personal contact details, and include only publicly intended info verified by the organization.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which approach best reduces harm while preserving transparency and credibility? (Focus: ethical data visualization)

ASwitch to a 3D chart to make the differences look even larger.
