<u>Option C. The primary difference between a citizen and a non-citizen is that citizens have political rights while non-citizens do not.</u>
Explanation:
A citizen is a legally recognized subject or national of a specific state or commonwealth, that have acquired that citizenship by being a native of that state or by naturalization. A non-citizen is a person that is not recognized by the law of a state or commonwealth as a national. Although there are several differences between the rights and obligations between a citizen and a non-citizen, the primary difference is that while citizens have political rights, non-citizens do no. Political rights are the rights that give the citizens of a particular nation the power to get involved and to participate in the civil and political life of the country, either by voting or by becoming a candidate for a federal o public position. For example, non-citizens of the United States not only are not allowed to vote in the majority of federal elections, but they also can not run, for example, to become President of the country.
