Intentional act of ending one's own life is which term?

• A. Egoistic Suicide
• B. Suicide
• C. Anomic Suicide
• D. Phased Retirement

Answer: (B)

Ending one's own life intentionally is called suicide. This term directly names the act itself, regardless of underlying motives or social context. The other terms are classifications or unrelated concepts: egoistic suicide and anomic suicide are sociological labels that describe different social conditions that can influence suicide risk, while phased retirement refers to gradually reducing work before retirement and has nothing to do with self-harm. Thus, suicide is the straightforward term for the act described.
