Correct Answer: Between he
Solution : The second option is correct.
- The error lies in the incorrect usage of the subjective pronoun he.
- In the given sentence, between is used as a preposition, and a preposition is always followed by an objective case pronoun.
- Thus, him will be used in place of he .
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: A misunderstanding has crept between him and his sister.
