2. It places the counselor in legal and ethical dilemmas.

3. It causes dual relationships and should be avoided.

4. It makes the counselor's role irrelevant.

The correct answer is: It expands the counselor's reach and efficiency.

Intentional and purposeful use of technology in school counseling has a positive impact by expanding the counselor's reach and efficiency. This allows them to better serve a larger student population and helps to optimize their time and resources. Option B is incorrect because the use of technology in counseling is governed by strict legal and ethical guidelines to avoid any dilemmas. Option C is also incorrect as technology can be used in a professional and ethical manner to enhance the counseling relationship. Option D is not a valid concern as technology can never replace the important role of a school counselor in helping students. In summary, the other options are incorrect because they do not consider the potential benefits and proper use of technology in school counseling.
