- The answer is D. This is related to Social Psychology.

- In this case, we can define "strain" as mental stress or emotional tension.

- Moral strain arises when people become uncomfortable with their behavior,
because they feel that it is wrong and goes against their better values.

- Kim is experiencing the conflict between the legitmate power of
his father and his own conscience (value judgement).
