What is the minimum age to apply for a class C driver’s license in California?

  1. 16

  2. 17

  3. 18

  4. 19

The correct answer is: 16

In California, the minimum age to apply for a class C driver's license is 16 years old. Option B, 17 years old, is incorrect because it is above the minimum age requirement. Option C, 18 years old, is also incorrect because it is above the minimum age requirement. Option D, 19 years old, is also incorrect because it exceeds the minimum age requirement by three years. It is important to note that although the question asks for the minimum age, it is always important to check state-specific requirements as they may vary. Additionally, some states may have additional requirements such as completing a driver's education course or holding a learner's permit for a certain amount of time before applying for a license.
