Explanation:
The Nagas is the name of a North Eastern tribe comprising several members and not one or two members. Hence the preposition ‘among’ is used to specify the distribution. A preposition is a word that comes before any pronoun or noun.
Another option is the preposition ‘by’ which specifies the action-human sacrifices performed ‘by’ the agent-Nagas.
Thus both the prepositions are valid depending on the usage of the word.
