According to the selective optimization with compensation model, individuals need to focus on the most important aspects of their work and compensate for deficits in other areas. In this case, Ron should focus on one important aspect of his former job, such as teaching, and reduce the frequency of other activities. This way, he can remain active and use his skills without overexerting himself or worsening his arthritis. Choosing A or B would not address Ron's desire to remain active, while choosing C would not prioritize the most important aspect of his previous job.
