Model Answer

(C) Error: among / Correction: between

"Among" is used for more than two things; "between" is used for two — here, sunlight and vitamin D levels (two items).

Explanation

The rule is: between = two items; among = three or more. Since the sentence compares exactly two things (sunlight exposure and vitamin D levels), "between" is correct. Examiners look for this precise preposition-usage rule in error-correction questions.
