A
The adopted child has the same legal rights and responsibilities as a biological child.
💡 Explanation:
In most jurisdictions, adoption creates a legal relationship between the adoptive parents and the adopted child that is equivalent to the relationship between biological parents and their children. This means that the adopted child has the same legal rights and responsibilities as a biological child, including the right to inherit property, the right to receive support from their parents, and the obligation to obey their parents.
