Betwen x and y is the correct idiom so eliminate A,D& B.
Between C & E, C is parallel To tackle the issue .......to become embroiled.
Hence the answer is C.

OA is C, but I have one doubt here, this sentence has two parallels...

To tackle the issue .......to become embroiled
betweer those who support public financing and those who would ....

I have never seen two parallels in a sentence before, is it ok to have the above structure.
