Solution

The correct option is B Although celebrities are rich, I doubt they are happy
We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.
The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.
So, and, do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options A and D as incorrect answers.
Option B is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.
Option C is incorrect as it does not convey the doubt and also the conjunction used is incorrect.
