Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Asking if an applicant is a citizen of the United States is a lawful question as the employer needs to verify their eligibility to work in the country. A is not lawful as asking about an applicant's age can result in age discrimination. B is not specifically lawful unless the applicant's criminal record is relevant to the job. D is not lawful as it involves asking about an applicant's housing situation, which is irrelevant to their qualifications for the job.
