    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Between is generally used for two persons or objects. In this sentence, the number of sons is not specified. Hence, 'among' should be used.

    Between can be used for more than two items only when the items are distinct or different from each other, and we name each of the items, e.g., I am trying to decide between, the blue shirt, the black shirt and the yellow shirt.

    Among will be used if we treat the items as a part of a group, e.g., I am trying to choose among these shirts.
