Why is this answer correct?

In Bundestag elections one may vote from the age of 18 (Art. 38(2) GG, § 12 of the Federal Electoral Act). Age 16 (a) applies only in some state and local elections, and 21 (c) and 23 (d) are not age limits for federal elections.

Bundestag election: voting from the age of 18.
