This question solution focuses more parallelism. So, i will like to discuss what parallelism is. It is the juxtaposition of two or more identical or equivalent syntactic constructions, especially those expressing the same sentiment with slight modifications, introduced for rhetorical effect.

OPTION A - INCORRECT
Here, with the usage of among, it indicates that there are two sides who are debating. So, it should be "between" and not "among".

OPTION B - INCORRECT
This is similar to option A due to the usage of "Among". Hence, it is wrong.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
There is parallelism or problem here. Those believing ... with those who believe indicates improper alignment.

OPTION D - CORRECT
Between here indicates correct parallelism and thereby makes the option correct.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
Parallelism problem which is the sane as option C
