Which of the following is an example of love bombing?

• A. Your new internet crush texts you all day and all night like an insane person
• B. A malware that pretends to be antivirus
• C. A phishing email that asks for password
• D. A tool used to rate content online

Answer: (A)

Love bombing is a manipulation tactic where someone floods you with affection and attention to create a quick sense of intimacy and dependency. The example shows a new online crush texting constantly, all day and night, which is exactly that overwhelming, rapid attention aimed at shaping your feelings early in the relationship.

The other options depict cybersecurity threats or unrelated online tools, not interpersonal manipulation. A malware pretending to be antivirus, a phishing email asking for a password, and a generic content-rating tool are about deceit or intrusion online, not about forming and controlling a romantic relationship.
