Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The foot-in-the-door technique involves getting someone to agree to a small request first and then gradually getting them to agree to larger requests. Victor's approach of starting with a small request (writing the first sentence) and gradually increasing his requests (up to outlining the whole paper) exemplifies this technique.
