A man confesses that he enjoys watching women when he is out in public. Further exploration reveals that he goes to settings where he can observe women crossing their legs in hopes of "seeing something good."

Which statement about this behavior is most accurate? a. Because it occurs in public areas, this behavior does not hurt others or involve intrusion into the personal space of those he observes, so it is not a sexual disorder. b. Although not physically harmful, the behavior is socially atypical, could disrupt relationships, and could be an insult to others, so it would be considered a sexual disorder. c. An action is or isn't a sexual disorder depending on applicable local laws, so whether this meets the definition of a sexual disorder depends on the laws where he behaves this way. d. The vistas he views occur in public, where those he observes do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. So long as he does not photograph the women, his behavior isn't considered a sexual disorder.
