Solution

Under Canadian law, the age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years old, but there are exceptions to this rule. If there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency, the age of consent increases to 18 years. Therefore, sexual activity between Hyun (16 years old) and Asha (21 years old) would generally be legal, unless Asha is in a position of trust or authority over Hyun, or if Hyun is dependent on Asha. So, the correct answer would be:

A) Sexual activity between them would not be legal under any circumstances. (Incorrect) B) Sexual activity between them would be legal if Asha is Hyun’s teacher. (Incorrect, it would actually be illegal in this case) C) Sexual activity between them would be legal if Hyun is dependent on Asha for housing and finances. (Incorrect, it would actually be illegal in this case) D) Sexual activity between them would be legal if they are teammates. (This could be correct, unless there is a perceived authority or trust in the relationship) E) All of the above (Incorrect) F) C and D (Incorrect)

Therefore, none of the provided options accurately represent the legality of the situation under Canadian law.
