Dotage should be the answer I guess. Because the question is asking the phase of life when a man acts like a fool. It's not asking the word for acting like a fool in old age. Just notice the slight difference.

Senility should be the answer. Senile is having or showing the weaknesses or diseases of old age, especially a loss of mental faculties, whereas dotage is the period of life where the person is old and weak. This is my opinion.
It would be really helpful if someone posts the right answer as soon as possible.

As a noun, the difference between dotage and senility is that dotage is a decline in judgment and other cognitive functions, associated with aging.
Senility is (uncountable) senescence, the bodily and mental deterioration associated with old age.
