B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence reads 'It signed them with Sri Lanka in 1998 and with Thailand (12) 2003'. The correct answer is 'in' (option B) as it fits the temporal context 'in 2003'. The preposition 'in' is standard usage when referring to a year. 'On' would be used with specific dates, 'at' with precise times, and 'for' would indicate duration rather than a point in time.
