  2. B
    Serving on a jury if called to do so
  3. C
    Obeying the laws of Australia

Answer

The correct answer is applying for an Australian passport, as it is a specific right granted to citizens for international travel.
Applying for an Australian passport is a privilege of citizenship. This document allows citizens to travel internationally and re-enter Australia without needing a resident return visa.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Distinguish between responsibilities and privileges.
Responsibilities are mandatory duties (like jury service), while privileges are rights or benefits (like having a passport).
The question specifically asks for a privilege, so we must exclude mandatory duties.
2
Identify the travel-related benefit for citizens.
Australian citizens have the right to apply for an Australian passport to facilitate overseas travel.
Permanent residents cannot hold an Australian passport; it is exclusive to citizens.
3
Verify the status of the other options.
Obeying laws and jury service are categorized as responsibilities.
To ensure the answer is correct, we confirm the distractors are incorrect types of civic engagement.

Key Concept

Applying for an Australian passport is an exclusive privilege of citizenship.

Hints

1
Consider which of the options is something you have a right to do, rather than something you must do.
2
Think about which document is required specifically for Australian citizens to travel to other countries and return home.
