Answer: A

Biological ageing is an estimate of the individual's position with respect to her or his potential life span.

Developmental psychologists separate several kinds of age. Biological age reflects how far the body has aged in relation to its potential life span, so a person may be biologically older or younger than the calendar suggests.

The number of years since birth is chronological age, capacity to adapt is psychological age, and the social rules and expectations attached to age describe social age.
