To qualify to serve as Georgia's governor, a person must meet the following requirements:

1. Be at least 30 years old
2. Be a citizen of the United States
3. Have been a resident of Georgia for at least 6 years immediately preceding the election

Now, let's evaluate each option:

1. A 55 year old retired U.S. serviceman who has lived in Georgia for five years - He is older than 30 but has not met the 6-year residency requirement.

2. A 29 year old businessman who was born in Georgia and has served four years as a Georgia senator - He is not at least 30 years old.

3. A 35 year old lawyer who moved to Georgia last year and opened a law office in downtown Atlanta - He is older than 30 but has not met the 6-year residency requirement.

4. A 40 year old immigrant to the U.S. who has lived in Georgia ten years and attained citizenship twenty years ago - He meets all qualifications: he is over 30, a U.S. citizen, and has lived in Georgia for more than 6 years.

The person who meets the qualifications to serve as Georgia's governor is the 40 year old immigrant to the U.S. who has lived in Georgia ten years and attained citizenship twenty years ago.
