When applying for a driver license in California, what is the minimum age requirement for a minor (under 18 years)?

15 years
16 years
17 years
18 years

The correct answer is: 16 years

The age requirement for a minor to apply for a driver's license in California is 16 years old. This means that A (15 years), C (17 years), and D (18 years) are all incorrect because they are not the minimum age requirement. It is important to note that although option D states 18 years, which is the legal adult age, it does not guarantee that a minor can apply for a driver's license at this age. It is also important to remember that the age requirement may vary depending on the type of license being applied for (e.g. regular, provisional). Therefore, B (16 years) is the most accurate and correct answer.
