The "working requirement" in some countries means that the invention must be manufactured in the country where the patent was granted for a specified period of time to prevent companies from obtaining patents in countries where they have no intention of making the invention. Option A is not applicable as the product may work but may not be manufactured in the country. Option B is not relevant to patents.
