As soon as we see between we have to find the parallel marker AND .
Hence B is the only option which states and continuing

The question tests correct usage of idioms...

Correct idiomatic usage of between is , betweex X and Y hence options (A), (C) & (D) rejected left with (A) and (E).

(E) can be rejected as "whether to continue" doesn't maintain the parallel structure as (B)...

Hence , correct Answer must be (B)
