Entrapment refers to a situation where an individual is gradually drawn into a particular behavior without full awareness of the consequences, usually due to initial agreement for something that turns out to be more than expected. In this scenario, the friend starts with a simple request for empty boxes, but then surreptitiously turns it into a request to pack the entire kitchen, leading the individual to conform to the request without realizing they are under duress. The other options do not fit the definition of entrapment.
