Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To be sexually satisfied, a person with a sexual fetish finds it necessary to have some external object present, in fantasy or in reality. Frotteurism involves deriving sexual pleasure from rubbing against others surreptitiously. Exhibitionism is the intentional display of the genitalia in a public place. Voyeurism refers to viewing others in intimate situations.
