Which action is a civic obligation, not just a civic responsibility? a. joining a political advocacy organization that represents your values b. staying informed about your congressional representatives' beliefs and votes c. paying all taxes required by your local, state, and federal governments d. volunteering your time to charitable organizations that benefit the community

Option C is the correct answer.

Paying all taxes is a Civic Obligation, since taxes  which constitute payments of money to the government, are necessary for carrying out public programs and services. Taxes have to be paid by the citizens in order to make use of those services that most individuals are not able to purchase for themselves. Federal as well as state or local taxes may include the payment for education at public school, safe roads, health care, fire protection, among others. Besides, when someone pays taxes, he or she is obeying the rules or laws under which a community is able to function; that's why it is considered a "civic obligation" rather than a civic responsability.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
