Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. are prohibited from carrying.
The phrase "are prohibited from carrying" is correct because it accurately conveys a prohibition using the standard structure.
"Prohibited from" is the proper phrase to indicate that someone is not allowed to perform a certain action.
The other options are incorrect because they either misuse the verb "prohibit" or use inappropriate prepositions.
Thus, "Passengers traveling by air are prohibited from carrying sharp objects in cabin baggage" is the correct and clear way to express the restriction.
