Question 2 • PMHS Health Q2

Which of the following statements about age of consent is NOT accurate?

Answer
A
It varies from state to state.
B
Violating it may result in a prison sentence.
C
Violating it may result in being tagged as a sex offender.
D
It is determined by the parents, not the government.

Explanation

The age of consent is set by law, not chosen by an individual’s parents, so statement D is not accurate. The age can vary among states, and violating age-of-consent laws may lead to imprisonment or sex-offender registration, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.
