The property was divided ------the twins.
The answer is option 2) between.
____________________________________________________
Why?
You may think the answer to be 'among', but when there are 2 or 3 persons and are mentioned in particular (here twins) we should use 'between' not among.
'Among' should be used when a group of people is mentioned and not in particular...

Answer :
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'among' as 'to each one in a group of three or more people or things.'
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'between' as 'among two or more people or things.'
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'in' as 'used to show how things or people are arranged or divided.'
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'into' as 'connected with or involved in a condition or activity.'
From the above definitions we gather that 'between' and 'among' are two words which can be used to fill up the blank. 'Between' is used when two specific and distinctly named items are present. 'Among' is used for more than two items which form a part of a group and are not distinctly named. In this case, 'between' will be used.
So, the correct sentence is :
The property was divided between the twin's.
