Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
Citizenship is a legal bond between an individual and a state that grants rights such as voting and protection, while imposing duties such as obedience to laws and payment of taxes. It is not limited to voting in local elections, nor is it equivalent to mere residency or party membership.
