Solution

The correct option is D Although
A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses.
Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.
'Although' is used to contrast ideas. 'Because' is used to provide a reason for something. 'In case' is used to express how precautions for the possibility of something happening would be taken. It is used before the clause which indicates the reason/cause. 'Due to' is a predicate adjective + preposition which means “the result of” or “resulting from.” It is used after a form of the verb to be. The given sentence shows the contrast between both the clauses. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
