answer explanation:
<p>The correct answer is (D) banning.</p>
<p>In this sentence, the council is considering taking an action to relieve congestion. The action they are considering is the act of "banning" vehicles from the town center. In English grammar, when we talk about an action that is being considered or planned, we use the base form of the verb (in this case, "ban") with the -ing form (banning) after a verb like "consider" or "plan." Therefore, the correct form is "considering banning."</p>
