People older than 65 are more likely to be malnourished than live in poverty, yet people younger than 65 are more likely to live in poverty than be malnourished.

The correct answer must offer an unsatisfactory hypothesis, one that fails to explain the differences between age groups. Every wrong answer, meanwhile, will resolve this discrepancy by stating a difference between people older than 65 and people younger than 65. This difference will result in a greater proportion of the older group being malnourished, a greater proportion of the younger group living in poverty, or both.

This would explain the discrepancy. Younger people are more likely to live in poverty than be malnourished because they are more likely to receive treatment for malnourishment than older people.

This would explain the discrepancy. If people over 65 are more likely to need additional nutrients, their relative undernourishment is unsurprising.

This would explain the discrepancy. If people over 65 are more likely to lose their appetite, they are likely to eat less and therefore be relatively undernourished.

This is a similarity between the groups and cannot explain their different outcomes. If people in both groups are equally likely to live in poverty, then people over 65 are more than twice as likely to be malnourished as people under 65, which is unexplained.

This would explain the discrepancy. Younger people are more likely to have healthy digestion, making them more likely to fully absorb the nutrients in their food and thus less likely to be malnourished.
