Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Women are more likely than men to attempt suicide, but less likely to complete suicide. This is because men tend to use more lethal methods, such as firearms or hanging, while women tend to use less lethal methods, such as overdosing on pills. Therefore, although women attempt suicide more frequently, men have a higher completion rate.
