Here still is used in the sentence, which mean its continuing, it is in present tense, so using prevails or prevailing is appropriate.

'Still' indicates present action.

I think 'has banned ' is more accurate than has been banned.

Has been means now the action is in practice.
Still means same meaning.
So prevails or is prevailing is good to use here.

There is no word such as 'banned'. It is 'ban' even if used in past tense.

Why can't we use simple past i.e., was banned in 2nd option?

Yet the custom prevails among some groups in India. I think this is the right answer because ' Though' is followed by 'YET'.
