The intervention described in the question is selective optimization with compensation, which involves choosing important activities and optimizing performance in those activities while compensating for declines in other areas. Choice A (selective organization with withdrawal) is similar but adds the additional step of withdrawing from less important activities. Choice B (selective withdrawal) involves withdrawing from all activities, which is not a recommended approach. Choice D (selective overt manifestation of aging) is not a recognized intervention for slowing aging processes.
