The warden forbade the student for leaving the hostel.

Forbade is the past tense form of forbid.
Vasu said:

Forbade is past tense and forbidden is past participle form or forbid. So option d is right since the sentence is in past tense form.

Forbid or forbade will follow "FROM" so the answer is option D.

You are all wrong. Here are the two possible correct forms of the sentences: The warden stopped the student from leaving the hostel or The warden forbade the student to leave the hostel.

^^^^^
If we use forbade to, it must be followed by leave the hostel. Since, "leaving the hostel" is the part of the sentence,"forbade from" is the correct usage as opposed to "forbade to".

What's wrong in "forbade the STUDENTS" ? I think it should be STUDENTS instead of STUDENT.

Forbade: to command (a person) not to do something.
For refers it had already happened.
From refers, it will going to happen.
