Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Cohabitation among seniors may be chosen over remarriage for various reasons, including financial considerations and family dynamics. However, the belief that it would be easier to care for a new spouse if they are not married does not align with common reasons for cohabitation among seniors. Instead, concerns about financial security, the impact of a new marriage on family dynamics, and personal experiences with previous marriages are more prevalent reasons.
