Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Sexual assault by definition is nonconsensual, and can happen to anyone regardless of gender, sexuality, age, or relationship to the perpetrator. While acquaintance assault is common, it is not the only form that sexual assault can take. Alcohol use may increase the risk of sexual assault, but it is not a necessary component of the experience.
