Explanation

Encopresis is the medical term for involuntary bowel movements or lack of bowel control, usually beyond the normal age for toilet training. Enuresis refers to bedwetting (urinary incontinence). The other options are not relevant terms for bowel control - analism is not a recognized term, and anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder.
