Which term is the story of a person's life written or told by that person?

• A. Autobiography
• B. Biography
• C. Memoir
• D. Nonfiction

Answer: (A)

Autobiography is the form where the author tells their own life story. It’s a self-written life narrative, with the person as both the subject and the writer. Biography would be the same idea but written by someone else, not the person themselves. Memoir, while also in the first person, usually zeroes in on specific events or periods rather than the entire life. Nonfiction is a broad category that includes factual writing, but it doesn’t designate this particular self-written life story.
