Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The term patient refers to someone who is seeking assistance because of an illness or medical condition. While options B and C are important characteristics, they do not solely define the term patient. Option D is also not a suitable definition as using a service or commodity does not necessarily imply someone is seeking medical assistance.
