The correct answer is A. assumptions.

Assumption is a supposition, belief, speculation, when you think about something or make an opinion about it. In the excerpt above, the word assumptions is the only one that fits if you take its meaning into consideration - you had particular assumptions about something in the past, but such opinions changed as you grew older.
