An obstetrician tells a 42-year-old patient that she can have a healthy baby, but that she is

of "advanced maternal age".

The patient is so upset that she fails to listen to the rest of
the doctor's advice, goes home in a huff, and immediately dyes her hair, buys a miniskirt,
and signs up for botox injections to smooth the tiny lines near her eyes. She is
misinterpreting the doctor's statement because it referred to
A) the age of her eggs.
B) her cholesterol level, not her appearance.
C) the age of the sperm.
D) her risk of developing diabetes.
