    In order to describe the age-group of a person, several phrases, namely minor, major, child, adolescent, adult, are used. A person of age 15 years can be described as

    minor or adolescent

    Incorrect Answer

    child or minor

    Incorrect Answer

    minor

    Incorrect Answer

    child or adolescent

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    - "Minor" generally refers to anyone under 18 years of age, so a 15-year-old is a minor.

    - "Child" is often used for younger kids, but sometimes extends up to early teens, sometimes used up to age 12 or 13.

    - "Adolescent" usually covers ages from about 10-19, so a 15-year-old definitely fits here.

    - "Adult" and "major" both typically apply to someone 18 or older.

    - Option 1 (minor or adolescent): Correct. A 15-year-old is both a minor and an adolescent.

    - Option 2 (child or minor): Partly correct, but 15 is a bit old for "child" in common language.

    - Option 3 (minor): Correct, but it doesn’t capture the whole picture.

    - Option 4 (child or adolescent): Partly correct, but “minor” is missed and 15 may be beyond the usual age for “child”.

    The correct answer is Option 1: minor or adolescent.
