Explanation:

Active citizenship is an important step toward healthy societies. It means that people should get involved in their local communities and democracy from town to cities. It can include small acts such as educating the young people or cleaning your street. It is a combination of skill, knowledge and attitude and actions and supports diversity and rule of law. It helps the citizens to find real solutions to problems instead of scapegoating and discrimination and extreme tactics.

Option A is not an example of active citizenship because it involves the act for self interest while active citizenship deals with other's needs.
