Answer 1

To apply for naturalization in the United States, a lawful permanent resident typically needs to meet the following residency requirement:

• If they are married to a U.S. citizen, they must have lived in the U.S. for at least 3 years (36 months).
• If they are not married to a U.S. citizen, they must have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years (60 months).

Given the options provided:

1. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 48 months (4 years) – Eligible if married to a U.S. citizen.
2. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 18 months – Not Eligible.
3. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 60 months (5 years) – Eligible.
4. A lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 36 months (3 years) – Eligible if married to a U.S. citizen.

So, the individuals who can apply for naturalization are:

• The lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 48 months (if married to a U.S. citizen).
• The lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 60 months.
• The lawful permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for 36 months (if married to a U.S. citizen).

Therefore, the answer would depend on the context of their marital status.
