What is naturalization?

A process for acquiring a driver's license
A legal process to obtain citizenship
A method to change residency status
A system for determining voting rights

The correct answer is: A legal process to obtain citizenship

Naturalization is a legal process through which a foreign national becomes a citizen of a country. This process typically involves meeting certain requirements set by the government, such as maintaining residency for a specific period, demonstrating knowledge of the country’s language and culture, and passing a citizenship test. The ultimate goal of naturalization is to grant full rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including the ability to vote and run for public office. The other options mention processes related to driving, residency changes, and voting rights, but they do not accurately define naturalization, which specifically pertains to acquiring citizenship rather than any of those other aspects.
