The OA looks incorrect, it should be (d), you prohibit someone from doing something

actually B and D are out because both of them use "THEM" to refer back to employee

In A "prohibiting that" is not right, "that" should modify agreement.

E is better than C, because the action happened in the past and "that would" should correctly refers to the future action.
