c. frank is not feeling as though he has the skills needed for his new work assignment.
d. frank is at the stage of his life where he is attempting to find a balance between his work life and his home life.

Explanation:

Ageism refers to discrimination or prejudice against individuals based on their age. In option A, Frank is not given a promotion because he is the oldest candidate. This is a clear case of age - based discrimination. Option B is about Frank's personal feelings towards retirement, not discrimination. Option C is about Frank's self - perception of skills, not age - related. Option D is about work - life balance, which is not related to ageism.

Answer:

A. Frank is not given a promotion at work because he is the oldest candidate for the job.
