Correct Answer: among themselves
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Among is used when referring to the distribution or sharing in case of three or more than three people.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Between
is used when referring to the distribution or sharing between two entities, not a group of people.
Their selves
is not the correct usage; it should be "themselves". "Their" is possessive, and "selves" should be in its reflexive form.
Amongst their self
is not the correct form. "Self" should be in its plural form, "selves", when referring to a group of people.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The players distributed the reward among themselves ".
