The correct answer is B) Roth IRA.

Explanation:

Roth IRA accounts are an exceptionally flexible savings option that offers the potential for deferred tax earnings and tax-free withdrawals.

Pay taxes when you contribute and, in return, you can make withdrawals (qualified with tax exemption) of potential earnings for your contributions. Make withdrawals when you're ready and without having to meet minimum distribution requirements. Keep contributing for as long as you want even after reaching retirement age. Leave your heirs property without federal income taxes.
