(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
prohibiting X to Y is wrong! It should be Prohibiting X from.....
(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
prohibiting is an -ing modifier for "bans" and then "prohibiting" is modified by that clause, which leaves option B as: Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting.. This sentence is nonsense.
(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings
correct as mentioned in option A.
(D) that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills
1. Here "that clause" modifies "bans", and this clause just explains "a" ban i.e. just a single ban, whereas word "bans" is used in non-underlined part.
2. this is an inferior construction even to the option E.
(E) that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
Wrong because of the reason (1.) stated in option D.

I have a query, is the ''ban'' and ''prohibit'' not redundant. Also, how can landfills ''accept''? Thus, I choose Option D.
Can someone clarify this silly doubt?

Hello VIGHNESHKAMATH,
We hope this finds you well.
Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubts.
Here, "bans" is a noun that refers to a rule of some kind, and "prohibiting" is a present participle, acting as a noun modifier, that refers to the action that the "bans" take. Thus, this usage is not redundant.
Further, in this context, "landfill" refers to the organization that manages the landfill rather than to the physical structure itself. Thus, we can say that the landfill might accept or refuse to house some particular piece of rubbish.
We hope this helps.
All the best!
