The correct answer is:
One is allowed to choose their place of residence.
Man darf sich seinen Wohnort selbst aussuchen.
Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
Freedom of movement includes choosing where to live within Germany.
Why is this correct?
The right concerns movement and residence, not occupation, religion or clothing.
Background
Freedom of movement (Freizügigkeit, Article 11 of the Basic Law) means: you may decide freely where to live in Germany and move within the country. The Basic Law guarantees this right to all Germans. Citizens of the EU also enjoy EU freedom of movement. For other foreign nationals, residence law determines where they may live.
Why are the other answers wrong?
Changing your job belongs to freedom of occupation (Article 12), changing your religion to freedom of faith (Article 4). The last answer is a trap: in everyday German, “freizügig” can also mean “scantily dressed” – which has nothing to do with the fundamental right.
Memory tip
Freizügigkeit = moving freely: choosing and changing where you live.
Legal basis: Art. 11 Basic Law (GG) ↗
