C.

D
a woman from China whose daughter marries an American man in Pennsylvania.

Answer 1

The child of Canadian parents born in Michigan is automatically entitled to U.S. citizenship due to the principle of jus soli, or 'law of the soil', as affirmed by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the individuals listed, the one who is automatically entitled to U.S. citizenship is:

B. a child of Canadian parents who is born in Michigan.

This is because the United States adheres to the principle of jus soli, which is a Latin term meaning "law of the soil" or "right of birthplace." According to this principle, anyone born in the United States is a citizen of the United States, regardless of the citizenship status of his or her parents.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and subsequent legal interpretations, such as United States v. Wong Kim Ark, affirm this rule. In contrast, the other individuals listed would need to go through the legal process of naturalization to become U.S. citizens, as they are not granted automatic citizenship by birth.

Answer 2

B) A child of Canadian parents who is born is Michigan
