D Correct answer
Explanation

A "cloistered" life refers to one that is secluded, sheltered, or confined - like living in a monastery or being overly protected. After 40 years of such sheltered existence, a person would lack experience in making independent decisions. The other options (happy, successful, safe) don't explain why someone can't make independent decisions.
