You were surprised until you later learned that the person had developed into something of a loner and had cut off ties with her church, family, and closest friends. Complicating matters, your friend had been unemployed for many months. Following Durkheim, you would be most likely to classify her suicide as:
a. altruistic.
b. fatalistic.
c. anomic.
d. egoistic.
e. particularistic.
