The best choice is: "What other pain must I suffer through as I get older?"

Explanation: "What further woe" = "what other misfortune/pain," and "conspires against mine age" = "is plotted/coming against me in my old age" (i.e., as I grow older). The other options change the meaning (ask about reasons, causation, or feelings of aging rather than asking what more suffering will come).
