Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A. Ways a person can become a US citizen.

Further detail:

1. Anyone born within the borders of the United States is considered a US citizen by birth.  This is even true if the parents of the child born in the US are not citizens.   Being born on US soil is a way a child is considered a US citizen.  This has become a matter of some contention in recent years, as some opponents of illegal immigration accuse immigrants of coming across the border to have a baby just so that baby can have US citizenship.
2. If either of a set of parents are US citizens, a child born to those parents is also a US citizen, even if you were born in a foreign country.  So if parents are stationed overseas or traveling, and a birth occurs outside the United States, that child still has US citizenship.
3. For those not citizens by being born on US soil or to a US citizen parent, applying to become a naturalized citizen is the path for pursuing citizenship.  On the USA.gov website, you can find a full desciption of "How to Apply for US Citizenship" and the naturalization process.
