Question

which of these is considered a civic responsibility rather than an obligation?

a. obeying the law

b. paying taxes

c. voting

d. registering for selective service

Explanation:

Civic obligations are mandatory (e.g., obeying laws, paying taxes, registering for Selective Service for eligible males). Civic responsibilities are voluntary actions that support the community. Voting is a civic responsibility as it is not mandatory by law (in most democracies) but is a voluntary act to participate in the democratic process. Obeying the law, paying taxes, and registering for Selective Service are legal obligations.

Answer:

C. Voting
