B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct preposition is 'on' because 'put on someone' is a standard phrasal verb meaning to impose something upon someone. The sentence describes how society places chains of rules and laws upon people. 'With,' 'into,' and 'at' do not correctly convey the meaning of something being imposed or placed upon a person in this context.
