Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Rationale:
A. This response incorrectly defines suicide attempts and self-harm and oversimplifies the concept of self-harm.
B. A suicide attempt involves self-harm with the intent to die, whereas self-harm (or self-injury) involves harming oneself without the intention of death. This response accurately differentiates between the two.
C. Suicide attempts can involve self-harm, but not all self-harm is intended as a suicide attempt. This response conflates the terms.
D. The terms are not interchangeable; understanding their differences is crucial for accurate assessment and intervention.
