A middle school in East China has created a controversy by ordering students of opposite sex to maintain a 'safe' distance of 44 centimeters between each other. Teachers in Jinan in Shandong province came up with the number after an expert suggested that it is the proper distance people should keep from each other as anything less than that usually means a more intimate relationship. Some of the rules the school had earlier announced but later scrapped included prohibiting boys and girls from sharing a dinner plate, and sending gifts to the opposite sex.

What is banned in the middle school mentioned in the report?

A. Boys and girls sharing a dinner plate.

B. Students sending gifts to the opposite sex.
