B is right: the clause that contains PROHIBITS starts not with that verb but with the relative pronoun WHICH. The subject of that clause is the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, because WHICH is placed next to it and refers directly to it. Thus, this treaty WAS SIGNED ... AND PROHIBITS ... DISALLOWS ... AND PROVIDES.
