Explanation:

The fragment B of the sentence is erroneous. In this context, the word ‘put’ must be followed the preposition ‘on’ instead of ‘in’ so as to make the sentence correct.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

Parts of northern France were also put on drought alert, with water supplies to businesses, farmers and ordinary residents restricted.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
