What is naturalization?

  1. A natural way to become a citizen

  2. A legal process to obtain citizenship

  3. A process only for minors

  4. A quick procedure for acquiring citizenship

The correct answer is: A legal process to obtain citizenship

Naturalization is a legal process that allows a person to obtain citizenship in a country that they were not born in. It involves meeting various requirements, such as being a permanent resident for a certain amount of time and passing a citizenship test. Option A is incorrect because while naturalization may be seen as a natural way to become a citizen, it still requires fulfilling specific legal requirements. Option C is incorrect because naturalization is not limited to minors; anyone who meets the requirements can go through the process. Option D is also incorrect because naturalization is not a quick procedure and can take several years to complete.
