According to those in favour of privatisation of Social Security in the US, the current system is impossible to sustain. Decades ago, there were many more workers for every recipient but now the situation has reversed. Sooner or later, the fund will not be able to meet its obligations, because there will be more payments going out, than income coming in. Privatizing the system for the future recipients, while gradually phasing out the system for current and near-term recipients, is probably the best way to keep the system viable.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in determining whether privatization of Social Security in the US would be a good idea?
(A) Whether privatization has proved successful for other government provided services such as employee provident funds
(B) Whether the population of the US is likely to increase significantly in the future
(C) Whether the growth in the number of workers is the US is likely to outstrip the growth in the number of dependents in the future
(D) Whether privatization of social security will lead to large scale protests by US citizens
(E) Whether taking loans can help the Social Security system tide over the problem of the reduction in funds coming in to the system

Answer is C
The author assumes that social security contributors will be outnumbered soon by recipient and hence there is need of privatization.
This argument is only valid if there is possibility of such event.
C) Whether the growth in the number of workers is the US is likely to outstrip the growth in the number of dependents in the future
If Ans is Yes for near future, then privatization needed.
If Ans is No for near future, then keep the existing system.
Kudos please, if it helped.

privatizing is considered because of the fund problem, So If loan can help society about the fund, then I think E is the correct answer.
