1972

Correct option is B

Explanation:
The Quarantine laws in the United States were first enacted in 1912 to control the import and spread of plant diseases and pests.

Information Key Points:
  • These laws were focused on preventing the introduction of harmful plant pests and diseases.

  • The laws were enforced through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and have evolved to protect crops like fruits, vegetables, and trees.
