Which of the following is a requirement for naturalization?

  1. Being a lawful permanent resident for 5 years

  2. Having a driver's license

  3. Being under 18 years old

  4. Living outside the US for 5 years

The correct answer is: Being a lawful permanent resident for 5 years

Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen of a country. In the US, a lawful permanent resident, also known as a green card holder, can apply for citizenship through naturalization. Therefore, being a lawful permanent resident for 5 years is a requirement for naturalization. Option B, having a driver's license, is not a requirement as it may vary by state and is not directly related to citizenship. Option C, being under 18 years old, is also incorrect as one must be at least 18 years old to apply for naturalization. Option D, living outside the US for 5 years, is incorrect as one must have lived in the US continuously for at least 5 years before applying for naturalization.
