Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Basson's model of female sexual response emphasizes that women can engage in sexual activities for various reasons beyond immediate sexual desire, such as emotional closeness or intimacy, rather than following a linear progression of desire leading to arousal and then to sexual activity. This model challenges previous models by incorporating the complexity of female sexual motivation and response.
