At what age may a person first apply for a driver's license?

The correct answer is: 16

The other options are incorrect because in most countries, the legal minimum age to apply for a driver's license is 18. It is possible for some states or countries to allow individuals to obtain a learner's permit at the age of 15 or 16, but a full license is usually not granted until the age of 18. Additionally, some states in the US have graduated licensing programs that allow drivers to obtain a restricted license at the age of 16, but they must pass certain requirements and have a licensed adult present while driving. Therefore, 14 and 17 are both generally too young to apply for a driver's license.
