1."between"(d)
Use 'between' even with three or more items when each is specifically named and has distinct one-to-one relationships — here, three named countries in a formal agreement.
2."among"(a)
Use 'among' with superlatives to express that someone belongs to a top group — she is one of the most talented.
3."between"(b)

4."for"(c)
Use 'for' to indicate who something is intended for. 'Between' and 'among' describe positions within groups, not intended recipients.
5."between"(d)
Use 'between' for something that separates or connects two specific places — here, a border dividing two named countries.
