D Correct answer
Explanation

'Between' is used for comparing two things, while 'among' is used for comparing three or more things. When talking about 'various clones of the same species', this implies multiple clones (more than two), so 'among' would be more appropriate than 'between'. This is a usage error in preposition selection.
