Answer 1

D. naturalization

naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen of a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country

Answer 2

(D) naturalization

Step-by-step explanation:

the national average processing time for naturalization (citizenship) applications is 14.5 months, as of June, 2021. But that's just the application processing wait time (see “Understanding USCIS Processing Times” below). The overall naturalization process involves more steps and a longer citizenship timeline.
