Answer:

D) Unspoken pressure

Explanation:

When David saw that his friend's parents had given them the latest cellphones, he also feels like getting one himself. But with his parents, there is no such luck. They either give him clothes or books as gifts, which David feels is not the same value with getting the latest phone. Though he did not tell his parents nor do the friends say anything or pressurize him in getting one himself, he feels a kind of pressure. The pressure to be at par with them makes him, thereby expecting to be given the same gifts by his parents is an example of unspoken pressure. This is not an outcome of any literal pressure from friends or anyone. He just feels it within himself that he needs to get it too.
