BC Question for a friend

I hopefully know the answer but making sure before I open my big mouth.....

Person is female, born in USA before 1981 to an American Mother and British and British-born father, married and father on Birth Certificate.

I feel sure she is British (by decent), and only needs to formally pay the Ceremony Fee and attend (and Passport fee) to completely 'make it so' - am I correct?

I feel sure she is British (by decent) Yes, automatically British by Descent
and only needs to formally pay the Ceremony Fee and attend No
(and Passport fee) to completely 'make it so' She can apply directly for a British passport as she is British by Descent.
