jamal was in a relationship with someone his own age. his partner pressured him into having sex. he said he didnt want to have intercourse but was told that he would be dumped and embarrassed if he didnt give in. which term best describes this situation?

a. sexual harassment

b. stalking

c. sexual coercion

d. sexual abuse

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Sexual harassment typically involves unwanted sexual advances in a non - intimate, often workplace or public - space context, not fitting here.
• Option B: Stalking is repeated unwanted attention/monitoring, not related to sexual pressure in a relationship.
• Option C: Sexual coercion is using pressure (like threats of dumping, embarrassment) to force sexual activity, which matches Jamal's situation as his partner pressured him with negative consequences to have sex.
• Option D: Sexual abuse is more about non - consensual sexual acts with force or violence, while this is about pressure/coercion.

Answer:

C. Sexual coercion
