Explanation

Michael Owen was born in December 1979 and made his World Cup debut in France 1998 (June-July), making him 18 years old at the time. He famously scored against Argentina in that tournament. Option A (17) is close but incorrect - he was still 17 when he made his senior England debut in February 1998, but turned 18 before the World Cup.
