please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To determine who is not eligible for Medicare, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Being 65 or older is a common Medicare eligibility criterion.
• Option b: Terminal illness alone doesn't disqualify; in fact, some Medicare benefits apply to those with terminal illnesses (e.g., hospice).
• Option c: A qualifying disability (like certain long - term disabilities) makes one eligible for Medicare.
• Option d: End - stage renal disease is a qualifying condition for Medicare.

So the person with a terminal illness (option b) is not a non - eligible factor in the way the question is framed (as the other options are eligibility criteria).

Answer:

b. The person has a terminal illness.
