states before they can enter the united states

that authorizes them to live in the united states

d the document that the government issues that allows a
person to travel to and from countries

Explanation:

• Option A: The description here refers to DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), not a Green Card.
• Option B: Refugees have different processes for entry and status, and this does not define a Green Card.
• Option C: A Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card) is indeed the identification that grants lawful permanent residents the right to live in the US indefinitely.
• Option D: This description is more in line with a passport or a travel document, not a Green Card.

Answer:

C. the identification given to lawful permanent residents that authorizes them to live in the United States indefinitely
