  1. A licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and sitting in the front passenger seatAnswer

  3. C
    Any licensed peer of the same age as long as they sit in the front passenger seat
  4. D
    A licensed driver aged 21 or older who is sleeping in the rear passenger seat

Answer

A licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and sitting in the front passenger seat.
Under Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws, a learner permit holder must be accompanied by an experienced, licensed driver who is at least 21 years of age and positioned in the front passenger seat to provide immediate guidance and intervention if needed.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal requirements for a supervising driver under GDL permit rules.
GDL rules specify that a supervising driver must hold a valid driver's license, meet a minimum age requirement (typically 21 years old), and occupy the front passenger seat.
This ensures the learner receives proper active supervision from an experienced adult driver who can intervene if necessary.
2
Evaluate each candidate driver option against these legal criteria.
Only the licensed adult driver aged 21 or older seated in the front passenger seat satisfies all age, seat position, and supervision criteria.
Underage peers/siblings or sleeping/rear-seat passengers fail the location, age, or active supervision standards required by law.
