Answer: B — 15 years old

In Florida, you can apply for a learner's permit at 15 years old. This is the age set by state law to allow teenagers to begin the process of learning how to drive. The learner's permit enables new drivers to gain practical driving experience under certain restrictions, typically including the requirement that they are accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. This gradual approach helps ensure that young drivers develop the necessary skills and understanding of the rules of the road before they obtain a full driver's license.
