Answer: c. Senescence begins once body structures reach maximum capacity and efficiency

Explanation: Senescence is simply ‘growing old’. Aging sets in at the time when physical development is complete - when a person reaches their ‘prime’. After that a person is ‘past their prime’ which is the subjective recognition of the on set of gradual deterioration. The biological rationale is that the purpose of life is to survive to reproductive age and to reproduce, and in some species to assist progeny to survive to reproductive age. Beyond that, survival has limited value.

An analogy is the length of an elephant’s trunk. It is as long as it needs to be, determined by natural selection, but no longer than it needs to be for optimum efficiency, again determined by natural selection.
