Answer: (B)

Indecent Liberties with a Child under 15 with lascivious intent covers acts where a person engages in or promotes sexual touching involving a minor. The best fit is the act described as proposing that the child feel or fondle the other person’s genitals, or that the other person feel or fondle the child’s genitals. This is a direct sexual interaction with a minor, done with lascivious intent, which is exactly what this offense prohibits. The other scenarios describe different situations: exposing genitals to a child or having the child expose theirs is related but fits a different offense focused on exposure; moving the child to a location to commit the act involves abduction/compulsion elements rather than this specific touching scenario; and actions involving money or property for child sexual imagery fall under separate offenses related to trafficking or possession of child pornography, not Indecent Liberties with a Child.
