Hello Mun,
Hope you're fine
Belong to the meaning of the sentence,I think that the most adequate preposition is 'among'
Hope this was useful

Hello Mun Hwan,
My instinct tells me the correct preposition is 'in' but sometimes 'between' or
'among'. I can find no examples of 'discrepancies over' unless it is being used to indicate a period of time, for example, 'there have been a number of discrepancies over the past few weeks'
Hope this helps

Use over with disagreements. There have been disagreements over....
Hope that helps :)
