Step-by-Step Solution

1
Differentiate between the two parts of the citizenship ceremony.
The ceremony includes an Oath of Allegiance (or Affirmation) and a Citizenship Pledge.
Candidates must understand that the Oath focuses on the Monarch, while the Pledge focuses on the nation and its laws.
2
Identify the official wording of the Citizenship Pledge.
The Pledge states: '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 fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.'
Exact recall of official wording is required for the exam.

Evaluate the options against the official text and core principles.
The option quoting the observation of laws and fulfillment of duties matches the official text.
This confirms the correct commitment made regarding legal responsibilities.
