The correct answer is B. Speaking slowly and loudly when talking to someone over age sixty-five years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "ageism" refers to a type of stereotyping of individuals or group of people based on their age, especially stereotyping and discrimination towards elderly people or towards young people that is based on prejudices, practices, and others that promote a negative attitude towards a certain group. In the case of discrimination of elderly people, this is linked to the idea elderly people are inferior or weaker than other people because of their age that goes beyond simple beliefs and is reflected in assumptions and actions. Considering this, the action that reflects ageism is "Speaking slowly and loudly when talking to someone over age sixty-five years old" because this example shows there is a biased and negative stereotype about elderly especially related to their ability to understand oral messages and this goes beyond a simple belief as it is a discriminatory practice.
