    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because research has consistently shown that women are more likely to attempt suicide, while men are more likely to complete suicide. Women tend to use less lethal methods such as drug overdose or self-poisoning, which increases their chances of survival. On the other hand, men often choose more violent methods like firearms or hanging, which are more likely to result in death. This gender difference in suicide behavior can be attributed to a variety of factors including psychological, social, and cultural influences.
