Explanation:

To determine who can be a naturalized citizen, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Individuals born in US possessions with one US - citizen parent are typically US citizens by birth (not naturalization).
• Option B: A person born outside the US to non - US - citizen parents is eligible for naturalization as they are not US citizens by birth and can go through the naturalization process.
• Option C: Those born inside the US are US citizens by birth (per the 14th Amendment), so they don't need naturalization.
• Option D: Individuals born outside the US to two US - citizen parents are US citizens by birth (if certain conditions are met), so they don't need naturalization.

Answer:

B. Anyone born outside the United States to parents who aren't citizens of the United States
