Respuesta :

Answer:

a 16 year old cant make decision they would have to call their parents. if someone was unconscious then they wouldn't be able to make decisions.  a man if they are intoxicated and awake they might be able to but if they aren't awake then they cant give consent. so i believe the only option is C

Explanation:

C.
An intoxicated person doesn’t have the mental ability.
Someone that is unconscious can’t say what they need
A 16 year old is a minor so needs parent permission
