Explanation:

- A. The grandfather: This segment introduces the subject, "the grandfather," with correct grammar.

- B. brought the chocolates: This segment describes the action taken by the grandfather. It is grammatically correct.

- C. and distributed: This part continues the action smoothly from the previous segment. There is no error here.

- D. them between: The error lies in using "between" instead of "among." "Between" is used for two distinct items or people, while "among" is for more than two.

- E. his children: This segment clarifies the recipients but hinges incorrectly due to an error in segment D. If “among” was used, it would fit perfectly.
