Sallekhana means <u>Holy death.</u>
According to Tattvrthastra 7.22 from the second century, "vow of willing pious dying" is what Sallekhan alludes to.
The householder then "courts voluntarily pious-death at the conclusion of his life." It involves progressively removing the physical body's and the interior passions' sources of strength as death draws near.
Death is the loss of senses and vitality at the conclusion of a person's life span as determined by their own wills.
When a tragedy, severe old age, or incurable illness affects the body and makes it difficult for the affected person to keep their vows (vrata), one should begin "courting voluntary pious-death" in order to at least preserve their vows.
Hence, option B is correct.
