Answer:

E) as it is now

Explanation:

The word “retire” has a principal meaning of leaving or stopping one’s job at a particular age, but it also has a secondary meaning of withdrawing a unit of currency from circulation. Used in the context of a country discontinuing the penny, the word “retire” has a neutral and objective connotation and is therefore the most appropriate choice for the sentence.
