How does your text define these terms?

This couple is probably between 35 and 50.
What I've typed is exactly how it's written
Go back and check your text to see how these age groups are defined.
I would agree with B, unless they married later in life. Without knowing when they got married to have their children, D is probably the best answer.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
