Solution

The correct option is D Although Martha's bag looked very heavy, it was actually very light.
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.
And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options B and C as incorrect answers.
Option D is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.
Option A is incorrect as 'in spite of' is a prepositional phrase and not a conjunction.
