Read Gwendolyn Brooks' poem, "The Bean Eaters" and answer the question.

They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.
Dinner is a casual affair.
Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood,
Tin flatware.

Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away.

And remembering...
Remembering, with twinklings and twinges,
As they lean over the beans in their rented back room that
is full of beads and receipts and dolls and cloths.
tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes.

What might we infer from the second stanza about the old couple?

A. They've worked their whole lives and continue to do so.
B. They've worked their whole lives and are looking forward to retirement.
C. They are unemployed.
D. They have been unemployed most of their lives, but continue to look for work.
