  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to apply for a Handgun Qualification License (HQL) in Maryland is 21 years old.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum age requirement set by the state.
