Answer 1

Answer:

B. Oliver is automatically a U.S. Citizen due to the Law of Blood.

Explanation:

Given that both Oliver's parents became naturalized American citizens before Oliver was born "Oliver is automatically a U.S. Citizen due to the Law of Blood."

This is because such a condition meets satisfactory requirements of United States citizenship when born abroad.

Hence, option B is correct.

Option A is not correct because Oliver doesn't need to get naturalized since both his parents are naturalized citizens already.

Option C is not correct because the law of the soil does not apply to Japanese citizenship

Option D is not correct because in this situation Oliver can not choose at birth if he is to be a citizen of Japan
