Jake just turned 25 and Joseph just turned 30. Jake teases Joseph about being an "old man" and tells him that since he's 30, "it's all downhill" for him. Evidently, 25-year-old Jake feels that he is presently exempt from the mental and physical decline associated with aging and that, for Joseph, it has already started. Which of the following statements could Joseph correctly employ in his defense? A. "Between the ages of 20 and 40, we all begin to experience a steady decline, so you're probably already headed downhill right along with me."B. "Between the ages of 30 and 40, we all begin to experience a steady decline, but more so for some than for others."C. "Between the ages of 25 and 40, we all begin to experience a steady decline, but a positive attitude tends to slow the decline."D. "Between the ages of 30 and 40, we all begin to experience a steady decline. Fortunately, men age more slowly than women."
