D Correct answer
Explanation

A lackey is a person who flatters or behaves obsequiously to gain favor or advantage, especially with ulterior motives. A philanderer is promiscuous, a masochist enjoys pain, and a parvenu is someone of humble origin who has gained wealth or position but not social acceptance - none fit the definition.
