This is a tricky one. I know the Act is important for HR professionals, but the specifics of the age limit are escaping me at the moment. I'll make an educated guess, but I'm not 100% confident in my answer.

Okay, let me see. I remember the Act was meant to protect older workers from discrimination, so the age limit is probably higher than 65. I'm leaning towards C or D, but I'll have to double-check the details.

75? Wow, they really want to keep those experienced workers around, don't they? Guess I better make sure I'm still employable at that age!
