Question 19 • United States History

A person is born a US citizen if he or she has parents who

Answer
A
currently reside outside the United States but are American citizens.
B
are not from the United States but work for a US company abroad.
C
want to move to the United States and become naturalized citizens.
D
once legally lived and worked in the United States as immigrants.

Explanation

U.S. citizenship can be passed to a child born abroad when the parent or parents are U.S. citizens, subject to legal requirements. Living outside the United States does not by itself end a parent's citizenship. Therefore, the correct choice is “currently reside outside the United States but are American citizens.”
