Answer to Question 1

D
Presbyopia is the inability of the visual lens to change shape, causing farsightedness which is common in the middle years.

Optimal muscle strength occurs between the ages of 2530 and then gradually declines. Peak physical performance is attained in the late twenties and then begins to decline. Physical stamina begins to diminish as normal cardiovascular and respiratory changes occur.
