Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Option B is accurately paired as acute (Recent suicidal behavior/thoughts) and chronic (Relationship problems, no intent, no plan) because it distinguishes between immediate, acute risk factors for suicide, such as recent suicidal behavior or thoughts, and more chronic, underlying issues like ongoing relationship problems without current intent or a specific plan for suicide.
