✓ Answer: AAnicca
Anicca is the Pali term meaning impermanence — the teaching that all conditioned things are in constant flux and do not last. Dukkha refers to suffering or unsatisfactoriness, not impermanence. Anatta refers to the doctrine of no-self. Nirvana is the state of liberation, not a Mark of Existence.
