Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Jack's hate for Jayden solely based on his same-sex relationship demonstrates a fear and intolerance towards homosexuality, making homophobia the most fitting option. A would also be a valid choice as heterosexism is a belief in the superiority of heterosexual people and relationships over those of other sexual orientations. However, homophobia specifically relates to fear and hatred towards homosexual individuals. B is an incorrect option as it does not accurately reflect Jack's attitude towards Jayden's relationship. C is also inaccurate as there is no indication that Jack himself is homosexual.
