Correct answer
For both the rider and the passenger.
For both: rider and passenger need head protection. Sitting behind does not remove the need for a helmet or make its protection exclusive to the rider. Each person should use a helmet of the right size, correctly fitted and fastened. A helmet helps reduce injuries, but accident outcomes depend on the impact, fit and other factors; it does not guarantee exactly equal effectiveness in every crash.
