The POE here is as vs like. We need like because it is used to compare nouns. Prohibit to vs prohibit from - prohibit from is correct. Between B and E, we prefer B because we need to compare for which 'like most libraries' should be a modifier. Hence B

B. like most libraries, prohibits students from borrowing

The best answer is B. we have to use like to compare Noun. Prohibit ................from is the perfect idiom.
