Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The players distributed the reward between themselves.

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) among themselves.
The segment "between themselves" is incorrect because "between" is used to refer to two entities, while "among" is used when referring to more than two entities.
Since "the players" implies more than two people, "among" is the correct choice.
Grammatical rule used:
· Between: Used for relationships or distributions involving two entities.
· Among: Used for relationships or distributions involving more than two entities.
Example:
Incorrect: The players distributed the reward between themselves.
Correct: The players distributed the reward among themselves.
In this case, "among themselves" is appropriate because the reward was distributed among multiple players.
