The correct answer is C.

By beginning with a question -- especially one like, "Do you want to live to 150? -- the writer immediately grabs the reader's interest.

The other leads do not immediately engage the reader. As a result, the reader is less likely to want to continue reading. Only option C makes the reader want to continue reading about this topic.
