doubt (Question: 198798.1 )

why option "A" is wrong, yes c is also correct

Question:
DIRECTIONS: You have a brief passage with 5 questions. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Old age consists of ages nearing or surpassing the average life span of human beings. The United Nations World Assembly on Ageing, held in Vienna in 1982, formulated a package of recommendations which gives high priority to research related to developmental and humanitarian aspects of ageing (United Nations, 1987). The plan of action specifically recommends  that "international exchange and research cooperation as well as data collection should be promoted in all the fields having a bearing on ageing, in order to provide a rational basis for future social policies and action. Special emphasis should be placed on comparative and cross cultural studies in ageing."

Many people develop disabilities in later life related to the wear and tear of ageing (e.g., arthritis) or the onset of a chronic disease, (e.g., lung, cancer, diabetes and peripheral vascular disease) or a degenerative illness (e.g., dementia). But disabilities associated with ageing and the onset of a chronic disease can be prevented or delayed. 

The traditional Indian society and the age-old joint family system have been instrumental in safeguarding the social and economic interests  of the elderly people. However, with rapid changes in society and the emergence of nuclear families in India in recent years, the elderly are likely to be exposed to emotional, physical and financial insecurity in the years to come. 

What, according to the author, can be prevented or delayed ?
Options:
A) Chronic diseases
B) Degenerative illnesses
C) Disabilities due to ageing
D) Disabilities due to accidents 
Solution:
Ans:(c) Going through the passage, we clearly understand that the disabilities associated with ageing and the onset of chronic diseases not the chronic disease itself can be prevented or delayed. So, option (c) is the only correct option.
