Which of the following is NOT a listed type of discharge?

Discharge classifications describe how a service member leaves the service in terms of character. The official categories used are Honorable, General (under honorable conditions), and Other Than Honorable. Medical describes a separate process—the service member is separated or retired due to medical reasons—not a character level of discharge. A service member can be medically separated or medically retired, but that outcome is described by the medical reason, not as a separate discharge type like Honorable, General, or Other Than Honorable. So medical is not a listed discharge type.
