Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Although

Answer: (B) Although
Explanation: "Although" is used to introduce a statement of concession or contrast. It connects the obstacle (heavy rain) with the surprising positive outcome (reaching school on time). "Because" would imply the rain directly caused them to be on time, which is illogical.
