Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When dividing something into parts or portions, we use the preposition 'into' to show the result of the division. 'Divide the cake into three parts' means separating the whole into three sections. 'Divide to' is incorrect because 'to' shows direction, not division. 'Divide over' would mean distributing across a surface, which is not the intended meaning.
