B Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'on' correctly forms the standard expression 'put on someone,' meaning to impose or place upon a person. 'The chains put on him by laws' means society's rules impose restrictions. 'Upon' is more formal but 'put upon' typically means to take advantage of someone, 'into' suggests movement inside, and 'for' indicates purpose - none fit the meaning of imposition.
