Rights and responsibilities are closely connected and mutually reinforcing, meaning the existence of one implies the need for the other. Rights provide individuals the freedom and protection to live with dignity, while responsibilities ensure that these freedoms are exercised in a manner that respects the collective good and others' rights, fostering a balanced and harmonious society.
Statement-II is incorrect because rights come with reciprocal obligations for all individuals to respect others' rights and uphold societal norms. While the state is primarily responsible for guaranteeing rights, citizens also have duties to respect laws and contribute to the protection and fulfillment of others' rights.
Statement-III is correct, as the responsible use of rights requires consideration for others' freedoms and well-being, ensuring a cooperative and equitable environment where all rights are respected.

Option (c) is correct because only Statement III aligns with the idea in Statement-I that rights and responsibilities are complementary. Statement II is incorrect, making options (a), (b), and (d) invalid.
