D) Sublimation

Repression is when someone takes a thought or memory and simply forces their mind not to think about it.
Projection is when you assign uncomfortable thoughts or feelings to another person so as to avoid them basically.
Displacement would be more like him having sex with a tree so as to not have sex with a woman.
