Answer

The correct answer is the statement that commits the individual to observing laws faithfully and striving to fulfil their duties and obligations as a British citizen.

Step-by-Step Solution

Recall the precise wording of the Pledge of Loyalty.
The text is: 'I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and strive to fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.'
Official assessments require exact recall of the handbook's text.
3
Match the recalled text to the provided options.
