Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The quote is describing an individual who wants to escape from a crowd because they perceive that the crowd is endangered. However, because they are still a part of the crowd, they must attack it in order to create an opening for their escape. This is characteristic of an escape panic. The other options (acquisitive panic, riot, lynch mob, and hooliganism) do not fit the description provided in the quote.
