  2. B Serving on a jury (and voting in a federal election)
  3. C Driving a car
  4. D Attending school

Why this is the answer

Responsibilities ONLY for U.S. citizens include: SERVING ON A JURY; and VOTING in a federal election. USCIS 65/20 Civics Question: 'What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?' — Accepted answers: serve on a jury; vote in a federal election. These are reserved for citizens. Note: many obligations (obeying laws, paying taxes) apply to everyone, but jury service and voting in federal elections are citizen-specific responsibilities; this pairs with the citizen-only RIGHTS (vote in federal elections, run for federal office).
