Model Answer

Option C — Error: between | Correction: among
"Between" is used for two people/things; "among" is used for three or more (parents as a group).

Explanation

"Between" refers to two distinct entities, while "among" refers to more than two or a group. Since "parents" refers to a general group (more than two), "among" is the correct preposition. Examiners test this common preposition error frequently.
