Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research shows that middle-aged adults tend to hold more negative attitudes towards aging and older adults, and may also express discriminatory behaviors towards older individuals. The other options are false; many people resist ageism and fight against it, ageism is present in many areas of life including medical care and employment, and ageism affects all older adults regardless of disability status.
