ANSWER
In the given sentence, we know that the father is dividing his property into two (given that he is giving it to his two sons).
Option D is correct as the preposition of place "between" denotes "in or into the space which separates two places, people or objects". Thus using this in the sentence shows that one part of the property is going to one son while the other portion is going to the other son.
Option A is incorrect as among denotes "being surrounded by other things" and more importantly it is used while referring to three or more people. Here we are referring to two people i.e. sons.
Option B is incorrect as "to" denotes direction and not division.
Option C is incorrect as it denotes being "inside" something and not division.
