You don't use senior or junior when talking about age. A is the correct answer.

Than is used when you are comparing two quantities but here senior and junior are not the quantities, these are the positions or designations so you cannot use "than" here.

When comparing two things we use 'than'. Here we use 'to'.

When there is a comparison and the word that surfaces the comparison ends up with 'or' as in inferi'or', superi'or', seni'or' to is used and not than.
