The correct answer is A. Presbyopia.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand that presbyopia is commonly associated with the aging process. Presbyopia refers to the gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects. As people age, the lens of the eye becomes less flexible, causing difficulty in seeing objects up close. This condition typically becomes noticeable around the age of 40.
On the other hand, the other options do not directly relate to the aging process:
- B. Articulation refers to the ability to articulate or produce speech sounds clearly.
- C. Muscle tone refers to the tension or firmness of muscles in the body.
- D. Astigmatism is an irregularity in the curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye, not specific to aging.
