Idioms Construction

by [email protected] » Thu Nov 22, 2012 10:12 am
After a few weeks' experience, apprentice jewelers can usually begin to discriminate, though not with absolute certainty, genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds.


[A] genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds

genuine diamonds apart from imitations

[C] between genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds

[D] among genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds

[E] whether diamonds are imitation or genuine


The given OA is C.

My initial answer choice was A as normal idioms, but from the meaning's perspective, A goes wrong. Please can anyone try this one.
