Explanation / Answer

The term scapegoat is used for individuals who are blamed for others mistakes. They did not commit any mistake, however, they are blamed for it. For instance, you and your other two siblings conspired a prank on your father. When your father is irked by your prank, he wants to know whose idea it was. All three of you blame each other first and then both your siblings together turn against you and put the blame on you. You become a scapegoat here. It wasn't your plan, it was your brother's, however, the blame is put on you.

Thus, the correct answer is option, D.
