Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Both accurate and authentic in this context describe concepts that cannot be proved. In the case of the age, saying that he does not know his accurate age is akin to saying that he has an idea of how old he is but no way to know for sure.

Having never seen an authentic record means that the author has probably seen some kind of note or unofficial record that recognizes his birth, but this documentation would not be official nor would it be trustworthy since it would not have been an official birth certificate.

Answer:
