Hint: You must separate the question into the S.V.O. format. This means that you will have to segregate parts of this sentence into the appropriate subject, the following verb, and the corresponding object.

Complete answer:
 You may have observed that sentences follow a certain structure. This structure ensures that the sentence makes sense. A sentence that does not make sense is of no use to its reader. Sentences that are sensible and follow a perfect structure are known as coherent sentences. Coherence is an important function of a sentence that gives a language its credibility.
The most basic form of sentence formation is Subject+ Verb + Object (S.V.O). This S.V.O pattern divides the sentence into its components and gives us a sound structure to follow.
Let us look at an example
Cat the milk drinks.
The cat is the subject.
Drinks is the verb.
Milk is the object.
This gives us the sentence, the cat drinks milk.
Let us look at our given question and try to separate it accordingly

SubjectVerb Phrase Object
The children below eighteen years of ageMust not drive-


Now that we have separated the components of our question, they seem to make some sense. In the subject column, we have two noun phrases that are linked with the preposition below. There is no object in this sentence. This means that it is intransitive.
By arranging these words in this logical format, we get the answer- The children below eighteen years of age must not drive. Therefore, option ‘b’ is the correct answer.
Note:
Keep in mind, intransitive verbs do not use a direct object. They perform the actions without portraying the person or thing that receives the action.
