Which of the following individuals may legally give informed consent?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Only competent adults can legally give informed consent. The 72-year-old female is presumed competent unless stated otherwise. An individual with advanced Alzheimer's lacks decision-making capacity, a non-emancipated minor cannot consent, and infants are legally incapable of consenting; their guardians must provide consent.
