Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Presbyopia is the age-related decline in the ability to focus on near objects, which necessitates holding reading material farther away in order to see it clearly. This is a common problem for people over the age of 40. Nearsightedness (myopia) would make it easier to read material at a close distance, and glaucoma would not necessarily affect one's ability to hold a newspaper at arm's length to read it.
