Solution

The correct answer is: "Significant benefits are possible but only after a long period of time."

A defined benefit plan is a type of pension plan in which an employer/sponsor promises a specified pension payment, lump-sum or combination thereof on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee's earnings history, tenure of service and age, rather than depending directly on individual investment returns. Therefore, significant benefits are possible, but they typically require a long period of time to accumulate.
