Solution
Statements A, B and C are recognised consumer responsibilities: learning about product risks and safe use, filing complaints even for small amounts, and respecting the environment. Statement D, publishing periodicals to spread consumer awareness, is a role performed by consumer organisations and NGOs, not an individual consumer's responsibility. Hence only A, B and C are correct.
