Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Studies have shown that the majority of child sexual abuse occurs at the hands of someone the child knows and trusts, such as a family member, friend, or caregiver. This is especially true for girls, who are more likely to be abused by someone they know than by a stranger. Babysitters and other caregivers may be included in this category. Child-on-child sexual abuse does occur, but it is less common than abuse from a trusted adult.
