      prescribes specific eligibility criteria for prospective adoptive parents. Based on CARA rules 2025, which of the following prospective adoptions are permissible? I. A 45-year-old single woman wishes to adopt a 4-year-old child, either male or female. II. A couple with a combined age of 92 years seeks to adopt a child aged up to 4 years. III. A single male applicant wants to adopt a 2-year-old girl. Which are consistent with CARA eligibility rules?
      A I and III only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D I and II only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Statement I is correct a single female parent may adopt a child of either gender; age 45 is within permissible limits and the child's age of 4 years satisfies the age-gap rule. Statement II is incorrect for children aged 0–4 years, the maximum permissible composite age of the couple is 90 years; 92 years exceeds this limit. Statement III is incorrect under CARA rules, a single male parent is not permitted to adopt a female child, as this is a specific restriction to protect the child.
