The answer is "16"
New York sets the Class DJ junior operator license class at a minimum age of 16, the earliest license class in the state's graduated system. Choice B carries over the age-17 driver-education pathway from the Class D operator license and misapplies that shortcut to the junior tier.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. 17
Age 17 opens the Class D operator license, not the Class DJ junior license. This answer reads the driver-education Certificate of Completion as bridging the Class D age down to the junior class, when it only lowers the Class D minimum from 18 to 17.
C. 18
Age 18 is the base Class D operator minimum, above the junior tier. This answer defaults to age 18 as the universal adult driving age, the way an out-of-state adult who never went through a junior license would picture the entry point.
D. 15
The Class DJ junior license class does not open below age 16. This answer carries over an age-15 learner permit rule from another state and applies it to New York's junior license class.
