Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. yet

Answer: A) yet
Explanation: "Yet" acts as a coordinating conjunction to show contrast between two independent clauses. "Although" would require a different word order ("Although he ran fast, he missed..."), and "despite" requires a noun phrase, not a clause.
