The correct answer is A. Activity

Explanation:

In sociology, there are different theoretical perspectives that aim at explaining the role of elderly people in society. In the case of activity theory, this theory states as people grew older their roles and activities change and elderly people need to replace old roles and activities with new ones to be actively involved in societies and be happy. Indeed this theory proposes older adults can age successfully if they preserve social interactions. This theory can be seen in the case presented as once the older woman retires she replaces old activities and roles for new ones just as swimming every day and serving on the Friends of the Library board that suggest this woman is aging successfully as she stays active and preserves social interactions although these are different from the ones he had before.

He taxed them as he saw fit and they died in wars caused by him. They didn't want to participate in them anymore, nor did they want to pay taxes to him.
