D Correct answer
Explanation

The question references Boggle's asset allocation model. While the answer D (70% equity, 30% debt) contradicts conventional wisdom that older investors should hold less equity, this appears to be testing knowledge of a specific theoretical model rather than general principles. In standard practice, older investors typically reduce equity exposure.
