Option A also can be wrong in that it says every citizen must do his utmost. Instead of "to do his utmost" it is "to do their utmost".

It should have been their instead of his because not every citizen is male.

Hard is used in the phrase Working Hard to indicate that a person is working a lot. In this case, "hard" is an adverb that tells us that the person working is focused and doing a good job. Hardly Working indicates that the person is doing almost nothing! "Hardly" is used as an adverb to mean almost not at all. Hope you got it.

Hard won is used for freedom which is a noun so we can't use an adverb there. Hardly is clearly an adverb.
