Answer 1

The correct option is D Entice

'Tempt' means to entice or try to entice (someone) to do something that they find attractive but know to be wrong or unwise.

"there'll always be someone tempted by the rich pickings of poaching"

In this context, "Her friends tried to tempt her to go to the movies although they knew she had to study", 'tempt' means to entice. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
