Which statement best describes an effect of the baby boom generation today?

Answer
A
The US population is becoming more diverse.
B
The US population is becoming older.
C
The US population is becoming younger.
D
The US population is becoming healthier.

Explanation

The baby boom generation is the large group born after World War II, roughly from 1946 to 1964. As its members age, a larger share of the population is entering older age groups, so the U.S. population is becoming older. This describes a demographic effect; it does not mean the population is necessarily becoming healthier.
