According to Statistics Canada, by the year 2050, it is projected that one-fourth (or 25%) of all seniors in Canada will be over the age of 85. This is a significant increase from the current proportion, which is around 7%. While the elderly population will certainly be significant, it will not exceed the population of the entire country in 1950 (which was around 14 million), so option A is incorrect. Option B is also incorrect as it suggests that half of all seniors will be over the age of 85, which is an overestimation. Finally, option D is also incorrect, as it implies that the elderly members of the work-force will take over careers in gerontology fields, which is not necessarily the case.
