On we or Un one

What I want to say is when we are ask

One mustn't talk back to one's parents.

On ne doit pas répondre à ses parents.

Your answer is " On " that is what I don't understand to me the question does not say We mustn't talk back to one's parents. so the answer should be "Un" if not why ?
