The correct answer is D. England was hosting the World Cup and fans expected the team to win.
Explanation: Hosting the World Cup typically comes with high expectations and pressure for the home team, as local fans hope for success on their own soil. For England in 1966, there was a strong belief that they could capitalize on this advantage, which increased the pressure on the players to perform well and secure a victory.
