Correct Answer
B. Yes, provided she presents valid ID and can swear under oath that she has no financial interest and is not named in the document.
Detailed 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.
