How old must you be to obtain a California Driver License?

  1. 15 years old

  2. 16 years old

  3. 17 years old

  4. 18 years old

The correct answer is: 16 years old

To obtain a California Driver License, you must be at least 16 years old. Option A is incorrect because 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to drive in California. Option C and D are also incorrect as they are not the minimum age requirement set by the state. It is important to note that while 16 is the minimum age to obtain a license, there are additional requirements and restrictions for drivers under 18 years old.
