The killing of one human being by another is defined as?

Murder
Manslaughter
Homicide
Fatal Accident

The correct answer is: Homicide

While all of these choices involve the death of one human being by another, only homicide is the legal term used to describe this act. "Murder" is a specific type of homicide that involves malice aforethought, while "manslaughter" is a less serious form of homicide that can involve either an intentional or unintentional killing. "Fatal accident" is not a legal term and does not accurately describe a deliberate act of killing. Therefore, homicide is the most correct and comprehensive term for this definition.
