Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Rapists typically target individuals who they perceive as vulnerable, such as those who are walking slowly and tentatively or appear passive or submissive. They may also target individuals who move their arms and legs in short, jerky motions as this can indicate a lack of confidence or physical weakness. However, projecting confidence without appearing aggressive would not be perceived as a sign of vulnerability by a rapist, and may even deter them from targeting that person.
