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

(A) between passing
(B) of passing
(C) between its passes

IMO B.

A and C are wrong. BETWEEN is not correctly used here.

D is wrong - ITS

E - Wrong - Changes the meaning. OA?

Though I could not understand why this answer is correct but the OA is C.
I would request all of you to explain this please.

Why E changes the meaning. It is either E OR C.
