Could you help me with this question?

Question 19:
As people are living longer, care in old age is becoming a larger burden.
Many people require carers to come into their home numerous times a day or
need full residential care. It is not right that the NHS should be spending vast
funds on the care of people who are sufficiently wealthy to fund their own
care. Some argue that they want their savings kept to give to their children;
however this is not a right, simply a luxury. It is not right that people should
be saving and depriving themselves of necessary care, or worse, making the
NHS pay the bill, so they have money to pass on to their offspring. People
need to realise that there is a financial cost to living longer.
Which of the following statements is the main conclusion of the above
passage?
A. We need to take a personal responsibility for our care in old age.
B. Caring for the elderly is a significant burden on the NHS.
C. The reason people are reluctant to pay for their own care is that they want
to pass money onto their offspring.
D. The NHS should limit care to the elderly to reduce their costs.
E. People shouldn’t save their money for old age.
