Magoosh Official Explanation
Split #1: it is sufficient to say "go faster than light". It's redundant to say, "to go at a speed faster than light" --- it's already clear "going faster than light" is about speed, so including the word "speed" is totally unnecessary. Choice (A) makes this mistake.
Split #2: it is correct to say "faster than" or "as fast as", but the construction "as faster than" is entirely incorrect. Choices (A) & (B) & (D) all make this mistake, so all of them are incorrect.
Split #3: the verb "prohibit" idiomatically takes the proposition "from". The construction "to prohibit P from doing X" is correct, and "to prohibit P to do X" is incorrect. Choices (A) & (B) & (C) all make this mistake.
The only possible answer is (E).

(A) having mass to go at a speed as faster than (Idiomatically incorrect)
(B) with mass to go as faster than (Idiomatically Incorrect)
(C) with mass to go faster than (We require the word "from" to get an idiomatically correct sentence: Prohibit X from Y)
(D) having mass from going as faster than (Idiomatically incorrect)
(E) with mass from going faster than
(A) having mass to go at a speed as faster than (Idiomatically incorrect)
