the correct option is D

D)the amount contributed to the fund while working.

The act was a part of FDR New deal and set the retirement age at 65 years. the maximum amount of money one could receive was 2642 bucks. the government had a welfare fund for senior citizens,but they were very many, and therefore the act came to remedy the situation by choosing instead to get the money from the payroll.
