In what case is a person under 18 allowed to possess a firearm in South Dakota?

For hunting with a valid license
When accompanied by a parent
In self-defense situations only
Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In South Dakota, minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to possess a firearm except under certain circumstances. Option A states that a minor can possess a firearm if they have a valid hunting license, but this does not apply to possession for any other reason. Option B states that a minor can possess a firearm when accompanied by a parent, but this is only allowed for hunting purposes. Option C is incorrect because minors cannot possess firearms for self-defense, even if they have a valid hunting license or are accompanied by a parent. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as both options A and B provide ways for a minor to legally possess a firearm in South Dakota.
