(A) between raising tuition and reduction of the staff
(B) among raising tuition and reducing staff

Can someone throw some light on POE here?![]()
[Reveal] Spoiler:
I am facing some difficulty in Between-Among
As I know that Between is used for a list of two distinct things and Among in general comparison or choice.
GMAT Club Grammar book says that Between can also be used when talking about a distinct relationship of more than two individual items, groups or people, for eg,
" Johnyy had to decide between going to Europe, buying a new car, or staying in college.
My instructor at Jamboree (India) told me that as a thumb rule, between is followed by "and" .
Now based on the premise above, please take a look at the question below from my coaching prep material:
