Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Retirement plans such as IRAs and 401(k)s offer a tax shelter that allows contributions to be deducted from taxable income, and investment earnings to grow tax-free until withdrawal. This defers income taxes on the contributions and earnings until the funds are withdrawn in retirement.
