  1. 21
  2. 17
  3. 18
  4. 16

Answer: C — 18

To obtain a Class C or F driver's licence to operate a bus in Ontario, the minimum age requirement is 18 years. This is important as the responsibility of operating a commercial vehicle, including a bus, involves not just driving skills, but also a mature understanding of the rules of the road, safety protocols, and the ability to manage passenger safety. The requirement of being at least 18 ensures that drivers have reached a level of maturity and legal responsibility necessary for such roles. This age threshold is consistent with other licensing standards for larger vehicles, where increased responsibility is mandated. Thus, being 18 years old is crucial to ensure that individuals are capable of handling the complexities associated with driving a bus.
