B Correct answer
Explanation

Article 217 of the Constitution states that a High Court judge holds office until attaining the age of 62 years. This is different from Supreme Court judges who retire at 65 years (Article 124(2)) and district judges who retire at 60 years. The age limit ensures a balance between experience and judicial vitality while allowing for succession planning.
