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.
