CHOICE B:YES, ONLY AFTER A CERTAIN AGE
EX. 65+
This makes more sense because if C wins ( yes, in certain circumstances ) then the most people to vote for C will vote for B in higher preference because it is the closest option
to C. Most people will vote Yes to the issue as long as it has
certain restrictions!

Choice C wins in pairwise comparison too. Though unlike in Plurality where choice D ( no ) is the closest second, In pairwise D is in dead last! Meaning more people actually prefer for Physician assisted suicide to be legal than to
not be!
