Why does the near point of accommodation decrease as a person ages?

A) The lens becomes clouded with age, and light doesn't pass through as well.
B) The lens becomes less elastic with age and doesn't change shape as easily.
C) The lens shape changes with age causing the focal point to shift.
D) The lens becomes more brittle with age causing light to refract erratically.
