Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Autonomy is referring to a patient's freedom to make choices because it is considering a person's ability or the patient's ability to act in his own interest which means that the patient is having the freedom to make his choices.

  • Sovereignty is a false answer because it is considering supreme poverty.
  • Ascendancy is considering the dominant power of influence.
  • Prepotency is considering predominance and that is why it is also a false answer.
