Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The correct answer is D) all of these. The content analysis found that nearly one-third of the rape scenes in the comic books studied reinforced multiple rape myths, including the ideas that women can prevent rape by fighting back, that women who do not fight back are complicit in their rape, and that rape is primarily the result of the offender's uncontrollable sexual desire. These myths contribute to misunderstanding and misrepresenting the complex realities of sexual violence.
