Because Halley’s comet changes orbit slightly during the seventy-six-year interval between passing close to Earth, it may veer onto a collision course with a planet sometime in the distant future.

(A) between passing
(B) of passing
(C) between its passes
(D) of its passes
(E) as it passes

I think the answer should be (C) because the interval should be in between something.

OA?

Interval between two things is correct

Orbit changes between two passes not while it passes closes to earrh

So correct is C

Because Halley's comet changes orbit.... <options> close to Earth,
Because Halley's comet changes orbit option C/option E close to Earth,
Because Halley's comet changes orbit as it passes close to Earth,

I find E a better pick as compared to C. Can anyone explain the other way
This time no looking back!!!
