Answer: C) 12 September 1975
Explanation
12 September 1975 is right. In August 1975 the government bought Shell's five gas fields in Bangladesh (Titas, Habiganj, Bakhrabad, Rashidpur, Kailashtila). The company that took them over was renamed Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited on 12 September 1975. It now runs under Petrobangla and remains the largest state gas producer.
