3 a time is all I can do to have a shot at midnint/ pl \

Answer 1

1. C. Older people keep stress hormones in their system for longer periods.

The body is week and as a result it takes time to deal with stressor and also stop the secretion as a result the stress hormone is active in the body for longer period in old age

2. Reduced length of axon as all the others are related to primary causes of decrease in brain volume

3. It was found to increase longetivity. The results if the study mentioned that it shows positive effect all the other 3 are negative effects hence this is the correct answer
