The primary drama of Homer's famed Iliad revolves around anger amongst the renowned and wrathful warrior Achilles and Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae and the leader of Achaean army.

A) revolves around anger amongst the renowned and wrathful warrior Achilles and Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae and the leader of Achaean army
B) revolve in the anger between the renowned and wrathful warrior Achilles and the King of Mycenae and the leader of the Achaean army Agamemnon
C) revolves around the anger between Achilles, a renowned and wrathful warrior, and Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the leader of the Achaean army
D) revolves in the anger between Achilles, a renowned and wrathful warrior, and Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the leader of the Achaean army
E) revolve around Achilles, a renowned and wrathful warrior, and his anger toward Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the leader of the Achaean army

Lets analyze C and D.

I would go with C.

X revolves in Y does not sound good..IMO, its not idiomatic. revolves around is better.

it seems that revolves around is redundant, how it is possible to revolve other than around?
my pick for D

As someone else pointed, out, "resolves around" is idiomatically correct. Your question is well-taken, because an object which revolves is inherently doing so about another object. The key is that, in this context, "revolves around" is not referring to the behavior of a physical object.

Will go ith C.
Revolves is needed to go with drama and "revolves around" sounds correct.

3 things are to be taken in consideration while solving this:

1. "Revolves around" is the correct idiom.

2. Between... and .. is the correct construction.

3. ....., additional info, ....... , additional info, .. is the correct way of placement

Undoubtedly "C" is the best choice.
