(A) younger and the older people

(B) younger people and the older

(C) the younger and the older people

(D) younger and older people（D）


(E) people who are younger and those who are older


没搞懂c和d的区别

tianwan说过：the+形容词，起名词作用，表示作为整体的群体，如：the young, the old, the poor, the rich, the blind；也可以指抽象的东东：the unknown，the unexpected
但是一对形容词，the必须省略,前面可以加both：rich and poor, both rich and poor, young and old, both young and old。这是语法上的规定，没有为什么。

所以这里就是 younger and older ppl  前面没有the？
