C. Looking for shelter during a thunderstorm.

Explanation:

A thunderstorm is external, as it is controlled by nature, not the person facing the conflict. All of the other options are conflicts occuring between one person internally.

it’s important not to respond to the bully because doing so generally just escalates the problem.

tell a trusted adult about what is happening and save the evidence. you should also let your internet or cell phone provider know, along with the operator of the site if it is happening online.

if the bullying continues, notify the local police and consider consulting an attorney if it becomes serious.

school authorities may also become involved if it involves students on campus.
