IMO A is the correct choice.

Don't know how to explain it. If it is the correct idiom or anything else.

Sorry. :oops:

dispute over is the idiom.

C is incorrect as it changes the original meaning. It is not clear who were disputing.

C. is wrong because they did not break after the dispute the broke during it...(broke is to fight)
E. is wrong because the did not fight over "the bitter dispute"(like as though it is an object and they are fighting for who owns it), but the fought in the dispute.
Camus "FOUGHT" with Sartre in a bitter dispute
