The correct option is duty to vote.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyze the Passage:
The passage states that a successful democracy relies on widespread interest and participation in politics, with voting being an essential part. It further highlights that deliberately refraining from voting and political interest is akin to refusing "one’s political responsibility while enjoying the benefits of a free political society."

2. Identify the Core Theme:
By emphasizing "political responsibility" and labeling the failure to vote while enjoying society's benefits as a form of implied anarchy, the passage frames voting not merely as a right or a choice, but as a moral and political obligation or obligation/duty of a citizen in a democracy.

3. Evaluate the Options:
- duty to vote: Directly aligns with the concept of "political responsibility" and obligation discussed in the passage.
- right to vote / freedom to vote / right to participate in politics: These focus on rights and freedoms, whereas the passage specifically addresses the moral obligation and responsibility to vote.

Therefore, the passage relates to the duty to vote.
