Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
All three options contribute to the underreporting and underestimation of the extent of family violence. People might be reluctant to disclose their family issues due to shame or fear of retaliation. Moreover, family violence is not limited to physical abuse, and other forms of violence, such as emotional abuse and financial exploitation, can be less visible or recognized as abuse, further complicating reporting and estimating the true extent of the problem.
