What does SDS stand for?

• A. Sudden custody death syndrome
• B. Syndrome death in custody
• C. Sudden in custody death syndrome
• D. Sudden death syndrome in custody

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is recognizing the established term for a medical-legal pattern: sudden in-custody death syndrome. SDS is built from the words Sudden, In, Custody, Death, Syndrome, in that order. The phrase tells you that deaths occur suddenly while someone is in custody, such as in jail or police detention, and that investigators classify these cases as a recognizable syndrome. The option aligned with that meaning uses those words in the standard order (with typical hyphenation as in-custody), making it the best fit. The other wordings either omit the in-custody aspect or rearrange the terms in a way that doesn’t reflect the conventional terminology.
