The pronoun "I" is always capitalized; proper nouns (names of cities, countries, and languages) are capitalized; common nouns like "university" are lowercase unless they are part of an official name (e.g., University of Sydney).

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Capitalize the first word of a sentence.
- Capitalize the pronoun "I" in all contexts.
- Capitalize proper nouns: Sydney (city), Australia (country), English (language).
- Do NOT capitalize common nouns like "friend," "and," or "university" unless "University" is part of a formal title.

2. Step-by-step reasoning process
Examine the correct option: "My friend and I live in Sydney, Australia and study English at university."
- "My" is first word → capitalized.
- "friend" is a common noun → lowercase.
- "I" → must be capitalized.
- "Sydney" and "Australia" → proper nouns → capitalized.
- "English" → name of a language → capitalized.
- "university" here is a common noun (not part of a formal name) → lowercase.

3. Intermediate steps (verification of each component)
- Check pronoun: "I" (capitalized) — correct.
- Check proper nouns: "Sydney" and "Australia" (capitalized) — correct.
- Check language: "English" (capitalized) — correct.
- Check institution generic term: "university" (lowercase) — correct.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
This sentence follows all capitalization rules: sentence-initial word and "I" are capitalized; all proper nouns and the language name are capitalized; the generic noun "university" is correctly lowercase because it’s not an official name.

5. Why the other options are incorrect
- Option 1: All lowercase start; "my" and "i" and proper nouns are incorrectly lowercased.
- Option 2: "i" is lowercase (should be I); "University" is capitalized though it’s used generically.
- Option 4: "University" is capitalized incorrectly; it’s not part of a formal name here.

6. Conclusion
Therefore, the correct choice is: "My friend and I live in Sydney, Australia and study English at university." This matches the provided answer.
