The correct answer is that looking after yourself and your family is a responsibility for all residents living in the UK.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the source material
The 'Life in the United Kingdom' handbook.
Official exam questions are strictly based on the content of the handbook.
2
Review the list of responsibilities for residents
The list includes obeying the law, treating others with fairness, looking after yourself and your family, and looking after the environment.
Distinguishing between rights (what you can do) and responsibilities (what you should do) is essential.
3
Evaluate the options against the official list
Only the requirement to look after oneself and one's family is on the official list of responsibilities.
This identifies the correct choice while filtering out rights or misconceptions.
