Correct Answer: distinguish between


Solution : The third option is the correct answer, as ' 'distinguish between'' indicates the ability to perceive or recognise differences between two or more things or concepts, and it fits perfectly in the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Distinguish from : To recognise the differences between two or more things or to separate one thing from another based on their unique characteristics.

Distinguish by : To recognise or identify something primarily based on a specific quality, feature or characteristic that sets it apart.

Distinguish for : This phrase is less common and may not have a standard meaning. It could be used in specific contexts, but it's not as widely used as the other two phrases.

Therefore, the complete sentence is, "We can distinguish between right and wrong."
