The Twenty-Sixth Amendment affect citizenship in the United States by expanding the definition of citizenship to include voting rights for younger adults.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment of the constitution of the United States of America prohibited the nation and the government from coming up with age as a factor for not allowing the citizens of the state to vote, especially for people who are at least eighteen years old.

Due to this amendment, the minimum age for voting reduced from twenty one to eighteen due to a huge requirement for more people to join the armed forces, especially during the Vietnam War.
