Answer:

B)U.S. citizens aged 18-20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The last group to receive full voting rights in U.S. elections is United States citizens aged 18-20 years.

This was passed through the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It was passed by the United States Congress in 1971.

African-American men earned the right to vote in 1870 through the fifteenth amendment

Native Americans, whether women or men were granted the right to vote in 1924

Legal immigrants such as the Chinese were given the rights to vote in 1943 through Magnuson Act.
