Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A palpable uterus in a 72-year-old woman may indicate a developing problem such as a tumor or other abnormal growth, as the uterus typically atrophies and becomes less palpable in postmenopausal women. Flat brown spots, non-elastic skin, and thinning hair are common age-related changes and not typically indicative of a developing health problem.
