Hi all!

IMO E

There are two main issues here: idiom and conditional.

1) correct idiom is "between X and Y", where X and Y must be parallel.
Therefore, "between competitions and race" is correct.
We should eliminate answer choices A and B.

2) It should be correct type 0 conditional
We should eliminate answer choices C and D.

if + present simple, present simple.
