Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Sex offenders may pressure the victim into secrecy regarding the activity as a "secret between us" that other people may take away if they find out. The offender may be anyone, including family members and persons from any level of society. Sex offenders are usually trusted acquaintances of the victims and victims' families. Many victims are abused many times over a long period.
