To find the average age of retirement, we need to add up all the ages and divide by the number of employees.

55 + 63 + 64 + 50 + 60 + 58 + 67 + 50 + 50 = 507

Now we divide by 9 (the number of employees):

507 ÷ 9 = 56.333...

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:

56.3

Therefore, the answer is D) 57.4 years old, which is the closest to 56.3.
