tbh A, then C. but, telling an adult you trust is one of the best things you can do in my opinion unless you are super close with the individual and can try to help them then.

Well if you ask them if they are suicidal (depending on the person) it might push them out of their comfort zone and it could make bad things progress faster.

Yeah thats why I picked A as my first one, but yeah I totally get that. tho at the same time, if your their bsf or super close it could be a different story, though as I saw earlier in a previous comment, it depends on the situation.

Like you said if it is your best friend and you know that they won't react in a bad way then it is ok to ask them. I have asked a few of my friends that way and was able to talk them out of it.
