Given that a person has lived for 2 years, while calculating the survival probability for at least 4 years, should we include the probability of 1st and 2nd year or should we just calculate it w/ the probability for last 2 years?

the answer is c.
since the person survived initial 2 yrs, those 2 probabilities are not counted. so its just .84 & .85
