While I don't have the latest specific statistics on identity theft for minors as of 2023, estimates from various studies prior to that indicate that identity theft among minors is a significant concern. Some reports suggested that the rate might be around 1 in 40 to 1 in 50 minors experiencing some form of identity theft. Thus, the best answer among the options you've provided would likely be:

C. 1 in 50

However, for the most accurate and current statistics, it's advised to refer to recent studies or reports from reliable sources such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
