Who would be most likely to be at risk for multiple sclerosis?

Answer
A
an eighty-year-old man
B
a thirteen-year-old girl
C
a five-year-old boy
D
a forty-year-old woman

Explanation

Multiple sclerosis is most often diagnosed in young and middle adulthood, commonly between ages 20 and 40, and it is more common in women than in men. A forty-year-old woman best fits both of these risk factors. The other choices are less likely based on age or sex.
