Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Daryl Bem's exotic becomes erotic theory suggests that sexual orientation develops through a process where children feel different from the opposite or same sex. Those who feel different from their same-sex peers (e.g., boys who do not enjoy typical boy activities and prefer playing with girls) may find the same sex to become exotic and, later in life, erotic, leading to a homosexual orientation.
