    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    'as soon as', 'as long as' and 'so long as' are not used with than or then. Furthermore, 'as soon as' is used to show simultaneous actions, i.e., two actions taking place at the same time. E.g., as soon as she came, the guard opened the door. So, remove 'then' in the second part of this sentence, e.g., as soon as the peon rings the bell, all the students assemble.
