B Correct answer
Explanation

Singapore implemented a ban on the import, sale, and manufacture of chewing gum in 1992 to maintain public cleanliness. The ban was specifically prompted by gum being stuck on the sensors of the newly opened MRT train doors, causing delays. It remains one of the most famous examples of the country's strict public order laws.
