You interact 'with' someone, not interact 'among'. So eliminate B/D/E.
In A, usage for 'between' is wrong. C remains.
Look at this post for general usage of between/among https://www.beatthegmat.com/between-vs-among-t69113.html

Kwakiutl interacted with one another [ within their tribe -- and a tribe consists of many people ]
Kwakiutl interacted with other tribes [ here you can treat other tribes as Y ]
X interacted with Y.
OPTION C uses this correctly.
