D

No, a credible witness must be at least 18 years of age.

AI Explanation

Credible Witness age and relation. California law does not specify a minimum age for a credible witness, only that they must be competent to swear an oath and must present valid paper ID (which she has). Furthermore, relatives CAN serve as credible witnesses as long as they are not named in the document and have no financial interest in it.
