Explanation:

To determine the ways to become a US citizen, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Naturalization is a legal process for non - citizens to become citizens, so this is a valid way.
• Option B: Getting a job in the federal government does not grant US citizenship.
• Option C: The principle of "jus soli" (right of the soil) means being born on US soil (except for specific cases like foreign diplomats' children) makes one a citizen.
• Option D: "Jus sanguinis" (right of blood) means having a US - citizen parent (meeting certain criteria) can lead to citizenship.

Answer:

A. by becoming a naturalized citizen
C. by being born on United States soil
D. having a parent who is a US citizen
