A. telomeres get longer over time
B. chromosomes become larger because proteins involved in compaction can no longer bind
C. centromeres get smaller over time
D. telomeres shorten over time

Telomeres, the chromosome ends undergo constant repair. Over the time they shorten in length and as a function of time thereby inducing aging. 

 

Centromeres and chromosome length  is unaffected except the telomeres.
