Explanation:

Because here someone is taking responsibility for something therefore preposition ‘’upon’’ will be used. In English grammar prepositions are used to describe relation, location or time.  It is also used to join noun and pronoun to others words in a sentence.

Prepositions are put directly before noun. Preposition ‘’upon’’ is used in a formal way and used to mean immediately after. We can also used ‘’on’’ in place of ‘’upon’’.
