Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Generally, many people with fetishes are otherwise quite well-adjusted. While the exact causes of fetishes are not fully understood, they are not necessarily the result of an abnormal childhood sexual experience and can be developed by people of any gender. Fetishes can be for specific objects, body parts, or even sensations, and may be consciously or unconsciously linked to sexual fantasies. However, having a fetish does not necessarily indicate a lack of mental or emotional stability.
