What is the state of abstaining from marriage and sex?

• A. Celibacy
• B. Evangelical
• C. Apocalypse
• D. Narrative Gospels

Answer: (A)

Celibacy is the state of abstaining from marriage and sexual activity, typically undertaken as a religious or spiritual commitment. This can be permanent or for a set period, meaning choosing not to marry and not to engage in sexual relations. In many religious traditions, celibacy is practiced by clergy, monks, and nuns to focus their lives on service, prayer, or spiritual work. The other terms describe different ideas: evangelical refers to a movement within Protestant Christianity; Apocalypse is the end-times or a prophetic revelation; narrative Gospels describe a literary form of the Gospels. So the term that fits the description is celibacy.
