Why B is correct
OAC 3901-8-08(N)(1) defines the open enrollment period as the 6-month period beginning the first day of the first month in which an individual is both at least 65 years old and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During that window the issuer may not deny, condition, or price-discriminate based on health status, claims experience, or medical condition, and every plan then available must be offered without regard to age.
Why the other options are wrong

- C) Ending employment has nothing to do with the open enrollment trigger; Part B enrollment is the Medicare-side requirement.
- D) Part D is drug coverage and Social Security receipt is irrelevant; the defining enrollment is Part B.
Memory hook
Open enrollment = 65 or older plus Part B, running 6 months.
