What is the minimum age for obtaining a driver's license in California?

The correct answer is: 16

In California, the minimum age for obtaining a driver's license is 16 years old. Option A, 14 years old, is too young as most states require a minimum age of 15 or 16. Option C, 17 years old, is also incorrect as again, the legal requirement in California is 16 years old. Option D, 18 years old, is the legal age for purchasing alcohol and tobacco in the United States but is not related to obtaining a driver's license.
