Explanation:

- Let's examine the sentence for errors:

- Part A: "The responsibility of making a living," - This segment is grammatically correct.

- Part B: "educating our children, and taking care of our parents is a timeconsuming one" - The phrase "is a timeconsuming one" is correct but should be hyphenated as "time-consuming."

- Part C: "that inevitably distracts us a single-minded focus on professional accomplishment." - Here, "distracts us a single-minded focus" is incorrect. It should be "distracts us from a single-minded focus."

Now, let's assess the options:

- Option 1 (A): Incorrect. “The responsible of making a living,”

- Option 2 (B): Incorrect. “of education our children, and of taking care of our parents is a time-consuming one”

- Option 3 (C): Correct. This option properly suggests "that inevitably distracts us from a single-minded focus on professional accomplishment."

Given the list, the right option is indeed Option 3 (C).
