Dani - My choice was A. However, you are right about the missing of "before retirement age". But after reading B carefully, it suffers the same problem. B is talking about not moving money from "saving account" to "tax exempt retirement saving account". The "saving account" and "tax exempt retirement saving account" are very different. And the money moving from one to the other has little or no impact on the success of the plan. Also, the scope is limited in B. B is only talking about limited group - "citizen with no saving account" vs in A "most of the citizen". For all we know, the group in B may be considerably small than that of A, and hence no impact on the conclusion.
And for others, according to PowerScore, any choice with "at least few" or "at least some" has high probability of being correct.

The purpose of the plan is to get people to invest more resources into retirement services. If the reverse of B is true, then the money is just changing pockets - money left for retirement in plan z is now moved to this new retirement plan, but no "new" money (i.e. no more resources) is set aside in retirement. Thus, B is something I have to assume in order to proclaim the plan a success - it is a necessary assumption, because it eliminates a possible reason why the plan will not be characterized a success.
A seems correct as well, so there has to be something wrong with either A or B to decide between them. The problem with A is that it is missing the crucial "before retirement age" to be a complete answer. If people withdraw the money after retirement age, then we're fine with it - the plan is a success. Thus, A goes too far to be a truly necessary assumption - I don't need to assume that people will not withdraw anything at all for the plan to be a success - I just want them to wait until after retirement age to do so.
