Explanation
The idiom "bad blood" (ill-feeling) takes "between" when only two parties are involved: "bad blood between the two of them". Using "among" with "the two" is the error, since "among" is reserved for more than two. Parts (a) and (b) are correctly constructed. The fault is therefore in (c).
