Extreme physical or mental suffering
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Agony.
- Agony is the suitable option.
- Agony is the term for extreme either mental or physical suffering. It makes sense in the context of severe suffering, whether it be from mental or physical pain.
- Compared to other options:
- Autonomy: This refers to independence or self-governance and has nothing to do with pain.
- Aviary: This comprises a large bird cage that has nothing to do with suffering.
- Autocracy: This is a kind of governance in which a single individual has all power; this is again not related to suffering
