    Solution

    Citizenship is the relationship between an individual and a state in which the individual belongs , and owes allegiance to the state and in turn is entitled to its protection. B - ‘State’ is a collective noun and thus will be treated as singular and thus ‘between’ will be the correct preposition. D - ‘Allowance’ is contextually incorrect here and will be replaced with ‘allegiance’ meaning obedience. E - ‘In turn’ is the correct phrase meaning ‘in succession’.
