What does the 'Law of Blood' refer to?

  1. You can inherit citizenship from your parents

  2. Citizenship is determined by DNA test

  3. Citizenship based on the country's needs

  4. Citizenship awarded for bravery

The correct answer is: You can inherit citizenship from your parents

The 'Law of Blood' refers to the principle of jus sanguinis, which means that citizenship is determined by one's family lineage and is inherited from one's parents. This option is correct because it accurately describes the 'Law of Blood'. The other options are incorrect for various reasons. Option B, citizenship being determined by DNA test, is incorrect because jus sanguinis does not use DNA testing to determine citizenship. Option C, citizenship based on the country's needs, is incorrect because jus sanguinis is based on family lineage and not on a country's current needs. Lastly, option D, citizenship awarded for bravery, is incorrect because citizenship is not awarded for individual acts of bravery, but instead is inherited through family ties.
