Got confused between 'A' and 'D'.

However 'D' was my pick by instinct !It took me a while....

This is a punctuation mark type sentence.
Where both portions of the sentence should be read individually i.e. indepedent sentence.

So 'C' is out of choice here.
'B' is not logical....
Same with 'E'

It is "Although" that makes a wining choice as 'D' compared to 'A'.
