Correct Answer: When you are mistreated the same way you mistreat others.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The idiom refers to experiencing the same negative treatment or behaviour that one has inflicted on others. In this context, it suggests allowing the bully to experience the consequences of their actions by being treated in the same way they've treated others.

Therefore, the correct meaning is when you are mistreated the same way you mistreat others.
