Correct Answer: safeguarding our rights
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The error in the original sentence lies in the use of "safeguarding" after "to." When the verb "to" is used in this context, it should be followed by the base form of the verb, not the gerund form. In this case, "safeguard" is the correct base form. The corrected sentence maintains parallelism by using the base forms "safeguard" and "protect" after "to".
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Laws and rules are made to safeguard our rights and protect us."
