C it is. The true intent of the sentence is to say that each side is creating dificulties for the other..

We generally use both when both the objects (teams, sides..) are doing the same stuff. e.g., Both sides are trying their best to win the game. Both sides are intent on creating difficulties [for someone else].

- "for one another" implies there is more than two sides. here is two sides - Covered Bridge Mall and Harris Township - so one would create difficulties for the other... not "for one another"
