Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the context of the question within the citizenship ceremony.
The applicant must make two distinct promises: the Oath (or Affirmation) and the Citizenship Pledge.
Recognizing that there are two separate statements helps distinguish between their respective targets.
2
Recall the specific target of the Oath of Allegiance.
The Oath is directed toward the Sovereign (the Monarch).
The wording 'allegiance' in this context historically and legally refers to the bond between the subject and the Monarch.
3
Select the option that matches the official wording for the Monarch.
The correct phrasing involves being faithful to His Majesty King Charles III and his heirs.
This matches the official Home Office handbook requirements for the ceremony.
