5. Assume the below life table was constructed from following individuals who were diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer and decided not to receive treatment of any form. Calculate the survival probability at year 2 using the Kaplan-Meir approach and interpret the results. Time in Years 0 1 2 3 Number at Risk, Nt 20 20 17 16 Number of Deaths, Dt 3 2 Number Censored, Ct 1 1 Survival Probability 1 a. The probability of surviving 2 years after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85. b. The probability of surviving 2 years after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for the individuals being followed in this study. c. The probability of surviving 2 years after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for individuals who decided against all forms of treatment. d. The probability of surviving 2 years after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for the individuals being followed in this study and for individuals who decided against all forms of treatment.

Question
This question is in the library, but has multiple answers making it confusing. I understand that the probability of surviving 2 years after being diagnosed with a slow-growing form of prostate cancer is 0.85, but where I'm confused is who does this apply to - only the study participants or study participants and everyone else who decide not to seek treatment. This tail-end is where there are multiple answers in the library. Can you explain?
