This is more about idiom than about anything else, I suppose. ‘Forbid’ is always followed by the infinitive ‘to’; as per that tenet, B is the right answer.
a) a teacher from scolding a student or to call --- forbid from is wrong
b) a teacher to scold a student or call – forbid to is correct.
c) that teachers scold a student or call ----Forbidding is not a mandatory case; it is more a mild form of prohibiting or ban n. So no case for subjunctive here.
d) the scolding by a teacher of a student or calling of – the infinitive is missing
e) scolding by teachers of a student or calling of – the infinitive is missing

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
You forbid something or someone to do something. ‘Forbid from’ and ‘forbid that’ are idiomatically incorrect. Choices D and E use the passive voice and are wordy. Choice B is the correct answer.
