Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".

"Sticks and stones don't break bones," she chanted.
Yoyo could tell, though, by the look on her face, it was as
if one of those stones the kids had aimed at her
daughters had hit her. But she always pretended they
were at fault. "What did you do to provoke them? It takes
two to tangle, you know."
Mark this and return.
What is the original meaning of the underlined idiom in
this excerpt?
O People should not criticize others if they have similar
problems.
O Sometimes, it is difficult for a person to make a
decision.
O Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and
stones can.
O A person who keeps moving has no responsibilities
and no cares.
