Solution

The correct option is D because
The two clauses here are 'The committee rejected the proposal' and 'they did not think it was practical'. Now, logically, only one relationship can be established between the two clauses - that of reason. The second part states the reason for the action in the first part. Clearly, we can use only 'because' to join the clauses here. The conjunction 'or' is used to suggest alternatives; both 'but' and 'though' are used to show contrast. Therefore, the answer is D.
