Answer 1

The question pertains to an individual's capacity to make a decision. An individual lacking 'capacity' implies they are not in a position to make an informed and reasoned decision. The determining factor as per law for such a concept is generally an individual's ability to understand, retain and weigh information and communicate a decision when it is required. The choices provided in the multiplechoice question have specific distinctions as which context could represent capacity loss. Out of those provided, only when the person is incapable of making an informed decision at the very time it needs to be made does the person lack capacity.
