PBS Dependent (Child) ILR -> Citizenship

Hi,
I have a child who was my PBS Dependent while I was on Tier 2. Subsequently, I got my ILR and my British Citizenship. My wife also got her ILR and then Citizenship.
My child completed his 5 years and in December of 2020 was granted ILR. Now that he has completed his naturalisation period, I would like to apply for his Citizenship. Please note that he was NOT born in this country.
I am confused as to what form to fill for his naturalisation? Is it MN1?
Thanks.

It's form MN1 - you could have applied for child when you or mother applied.

Thanks. I thought he needed to wait the 5 years and complete his own timelines.
Now that I am looking at the eligibility question for MN1 for the online form - I am not sure which option would best suit for his eligibility?

You select "Other" for a child born abroad.

Thanks. So, I should definitely select - 'Other - apply at the discretion of the Home Secretary'.
Very kind of you t help and advise.
Also double checking that MN1 is the only form that may fit the circumstances, correct?
