Answer:

A, a challenge for Medicare and Social Security

Explanation:

An aging population is a problem many developed countries face today. It occurs because of the demographic situation today: low or negative birth rates.

An aging population means that there are more retired than working people. The retired people don't pay taxes and many rely on governmental medical and social programs such as Medicare and Social Security. These programs have to be financed from public funds and the absence of taxes means there may be not enough money to cover for the expenses in the future.

sasho [114]

The correct answer is option B.

Edmond Halley correctly predicted the return of the eponymous comet Halley after he realized several sightings of a comet were in fact the same comet.

By correctly understanding Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravity and also his ideas in mathematics, Halley was able to correctly predict that the comet that now bears his name would return periodically. He did this by discovering Halley's orbit in 1716 and thus being able to predict the year of its return.
