  1. At the midpoint as her age is approximately half her life expectancy.

\( C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct because her lifestyle includes positive practices across multiple dimensions of health.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because her life expectancy is not relevant in this case.
  • B is incorrect because age alone doesn’t determine health status, and 40 is not considered old.
  • D is incorrect because while medical testing provides additional information, health status can be reasonably assessed based on lifestyle factors.
