How long must records of unemancipated minors be kept after they reach 18 years of age?

  1. 5 years

  2. Until they reach 21

  3. 1 year

  4. 3 years

The correct answer is: 1 year

The other options are incorrect because they do not align with legal requirements or best practices for record retention of unemancipated minors. Option A of keeping records for 5 years is too short as many states require records to be kept for at least 7-10 years after the child reaches the age of majority. Option B of keeping records until they reach 21 may be too long, and can also be confusing as some states consider 18 years old as the legal age of majority. Option D of keeping records for 3 years is also relatively short compared to legal requirements and best practices. Option C of keeping records for 1 year is the most suitable among the choices provided, as it is a commonly recommended period of time for record retention of unemancipated minors.
