Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have
begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings.
(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(D) that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills
(E) that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
OAC
First-- I eliminate the options D and E because negative cannot after bans is illogical....am i right?
Secondly-- the correct IDIOM is X forbids Y to do Z or X forbids Y from doing Z
so my doubt is why not A
Prohibiting

That is used for restrictive clause. In both option D and E, Both the parts underlined and non underlined are independent clauses and are able to stand on their own, so we cannot use that.Hence option D and E are wrong.
Also, Probhit from is a correct idiom
IMO C
