D). Half of them viewed themselves as being middle-aged.

Explanation:

The consistent findings (set of findings that consistently offer a similar interpretation) have revealed that 'half of the 60-75 years old age-group people consider themselves as being middle-aged' despite belonging to the old-age category. It implies that the deduction possesses the capability of being true due to consistency in the interpretation which proves that the people of such age despite being physically aged are not ready to emotionally accept their aging. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
