In the context of applying for naturalization in the United States, generally, a lawful permanent resident (LPR) must meet specific residency requirements. The standard requirement is that applicants must have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (60 months). However, if they are married to a U.S. citizen, they can apply after 3 years (36 months) of permanent residence.

Given these details, the following individuals can apply for naturalization based on the information provided:

  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 36 months (if married to a U.S. citizen).
  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 60 months (qualifies under the general rule).

The ones who cannot apply based on the typical requirements are:

  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 18 months.
  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 48 months.

Thus, the answers include:

  1. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 36 months (if married to a U.S. citizen).
  2. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 60 months.
So which one is it?

Based on the standard requirements for naturalization:

  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 36 months can apply if they are married to a U.S. citizen.
  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 60 months can apply regardless of marital status.

Therefore, the individuals who can apply for naturalization based on the options you provided are:

  1. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 36 months (if married to a U.S. citizen).
  2. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 60 months.

If you're looking for a specific answer from the choices without the context of marriage, the safest choice would be:

  • A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the US for 60 months.
