Answer 1

The correct response to describe the act of a function calling itself in recursion is **"recursive case."**

In the context of recursion:
- The **recursive case** is when the function calls itself to solve a smaller instance of the same problem.
- The **base case** is a condition under which the recursion stops, preventing infinite calls.

So, when a function is calling itself, it's executing the "recursive case."
