• B. Now that

Answer 1

The correct option is B Now that

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.

'Whether' is used to show choice between two possibilities or express a doubt.

'Now that' describes a situation that is true and allows for the possibility of something else to happen. It's often used to describe a cause and effect relationship. The given sentence shows the relation between cause and effect.

'In spite of' is used to express that something is unexpected or surprising.

'In order of' is used to express the purpose of something.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
