Correct Answer
C. No, because the law requires the ID to be current OR issued within the last 5 years.
Detailed Explanation
The 5-Year Expiration Rule. According to CA Civil Code section 1185, a specified ID is legally acceptable provided it is current OR was issued within 5 years. This passport is expired (not current) and was issued 11 years ago (not within 5 years). Therefore, it completely fails the statutory requirement and must be rejected.
