D) personal responsibility

(its c)

The correct answer is C). This behavior is one which neglects basic civic duty. This is because civic duties are defined as: Responsibilities that are legally mandated that every citizen needs to fulfill. If one fails to fulfill this responsibilities, one could have a legal punishment. It is important to differ civic duty from civic responsibilities, because civic duties are required by law while the civic responsibilities are not.

An example of civil duty would be to serve in the military if you are drafted by the United States.
