Explanation:

To determine when flirting becomes sexual harassment, we analyze each option:

• Inviting to a party (even if undecided) is a normal social action, not harassment.
• Following on social media with mutual acceptance is consensual and not harassment.
• Mutual flirting is consensual and remains flirting.
• Sending sexually suggestive images that the recipient finds inappropriate is non - consensual and crosses into sexual harassment as it involves unwelcome sexual content.

Answer:

D. Jake texts Cassie sexually suggestive images, and she considers them inappropriate.
