D Correct answer
Explanation

In the accumulation phase (working years), investors should have high equity allocation (typically 65-80% or more) for long-term growth. Option A's 15-30% equity is too conservative for accumulation phase (that's the distribution phase allocation). Options B and C are also incorrect allocations for this life stage, making 'None of the above' the right choice.
