A. student rebellions, which may be raucous without their being driven by activism, from authentic political upheaval

B. student rebellions, perhaps raucous without being driven by activism, and authentic political upheaval

C. between student rebellions, which may be raucous without being driven by activism, and authentic political upheaval

D. between student rebellions, perhaps raucous without being driven by activism, from authentic political upheaval

E. authentic political upheaval and student rebellions, which may be raucous without being driven by activism


Two idioms :
Distinguish A from B
Distinguish between A and B

B,D,E is eliminated
A-"without their being driven" does not sound good ..
C is clear and idiomatic ...

Answer is option C. Because it correctly follows the idiom form "distinguished between X and Y". Other options are not idiomatic.

Between X and Y and correct placement of modifier (which may be...activism)
