Which of the following could be considered a life-course perspective of aging?

Retirement
Chronic illness
Adapting to change
End of life care

The correct answer is: Adapting to change

A life-course perspective of aging focuses on the social, psychological, and biological changes that occur throughout an individual's life span. Retirement (option A) and end of life care (option D) deal specifically with certain stages of the aging process, rather than looking at aging as a continuous process. Chronic illness (option B) is a specific condition that can affect an individual's aging, but it does not encompass all aspects of aging. Adapting to change (option C) acknowledges the changes that occur throughout an individual's life span and how they can impact aging, making it the best choice for a life-course perspective on aging.
