A Correct answer
Explanation

16 years is the minimum age for a student pilot to fly solo under supervision in most aviation regulations. Student pilots can begin training earlier, but they must reach this age before acting as pilot-in-command of an aircraft alone. This age requirement ensures maturity for the responsibility of solo flight operations.
