What is the general legal age to provide consent in the US?

  1. 16

  2. 18

  3. 21

  4. Varies by state

The correct answer is: 18

In the US, the general legal age to provide consent is 18. This is the age at which an individual is considered an adult and is therefore legally able to make decisions on their own behalf. Option A, 16, may be the age of consent in some states, but it is not the general legal age in the US. Option C, 21, may be the legal age to purchase alcohol and in some cases to rent a car, but it is not the general legal age for providing consent. Option D, "varies by state", is not completely incorrect, as some states may have different ages of consent. However, the correct and most widely applicable general legal age in the US is 18.
