Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The working-age population includes individuals over the age of 16 who are not retired, not in prison, and not serving in the military. Therefore, options A (in prison) and B (in the military) are excluded, while options C (less than 16 years old) and D (over the age of 16) remain.

Therefore, the best choice is D (over the age of 16).
