Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Pat experienced the orgasm phase, which is characterized by the peak intensity of sexual arousal and the release of sexual tension through muscular contractions in the pelvic area. The plateau phase is a period of sustained sexual arousal before reaching orgasm, while the resolution phase involves the gradual return to a pre-aroused state. The pinnacle phase is not recognized as a distinct phase in the human sexual response.
