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

OA: C

My question is: Both "Ban" and "Prohibit" means the same right? so when it is placed next to next.. doesn't it makes redundancy?

Thanks.

Yes - a ban is just a formal act that prohibits something. In this case, they are different parts of speech - "ban" is used a noun and "prohibiting" is an adjective modifying ban. A ban on smoking would be no different than a ban prohibiting smoking. But in this case, we wouldn't want to write a "ban on landfills..." as the landfills themselves aren't banned. They're banned from doing something, so the participle "prohibiting" helps make that meaning clearer here. I wouldn't bother devoting brain space to the various usages of ban/prohibit. It's really just a reminder that you always want the most logical sentence.
