Answer 1

Answer:

B. Any resident of India, regardless of age or gender.

Any resident of India, regardless of their age or gender, is eligible to enroll for Aadhaar.

• Residency: The primary requirement is that an individual must be a resident of India. This means they should have resided in India for 182 days or more in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of application for enrollment.

• Inclusivity: Aadhaar enrollment is open to all age groups, from newborns to senior citizens, and is not limited by gender.

• Voluntary: Enrollment is voluntary. It's not mandatory for residents to have an Aadhaar number.
