a

Explanation:

• Option A: Peer influence (friends having sex) can increase pressure to engage in sexual relations, so this is true.
• Option B: A new romantic relationship can bring pressure to be sexually active, so this is true.
• Option C: An older partner may exert more pressure for sexual activity, so this is true.
• Option D: Even with protection, sexual activity can still have emotional risks (e.g., regret, relationship issues) and physical risks (e.g., protection failure, STIs not fully prevented), so this statement is not true.
