• A. in fact
• B. in spite of that
• C. this is why
• D. in comparison

Answer 1

The correct option is D in comparison

Subordinating conjunction is a word that connects an independent clause to a dependent clause. 'In comparison' is used to compare two things in the sentence. 'This is why' is used to support the explanation or reason provided for something. 'In spite of that' is used to explain the contrast between two things. 'In fact' is used to add more detailed information to what has just been said. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
