Answer 2

I agree with you on both.

Answer 3

You answered correctly! The correct answer is A) among. When there is disagreement among a group of people, it means that there is a difference of opinion or a lack of agreement within the group as a whole. In this case, we are referring to the 4 doctors, which is more than two people, so we use "among" instead of "between."
