The word from the given choices above which will nearly translate to "to draw or press in" is the word constrict. Thus, the answer is letter D. The word is also synonymous to make narrower, tighten, compress, squeeze, and contract.

Answer:  D. constrict

The root word "stric-" means "to tie," as it comes from the Latin "stringere." This is the same root of the word "strict." The word "constrict" means "to compress," or to force something to be narrower or tighter. Identifying the root of words can help us figure out the meaning of words when we encounter them for the first time.
