I will go with C. I think we are comparing two things to show the contrasting phenomena.
Engineering feats and arduous tasks. So I feel to show the contrast between these two "Although" needs to be used.
Please correct me if my reasoning is wrong. Also can I know the source of this problem ?
KD

did you transcribe the sc properly .Boring and Turning are examples of feats that the first part of the SC talks about . Therefore we need to use such as to introduce these examples .
At the same time E is the only option that uses the correct verb . But C is the only option that introduces the examples appropriately

subject verb agreement is quite clear but the structure of the dependent clause is using the phrasecans wrote:IMO E

.......no less.....
and i think using "although" will be make sentence more clear.
please correct me if am wrong. this is not just about options i am asking a general question.
Example:
Although Ruchi worked hard to stood first Reshu's perseverance was no less remarkable.
Vs.
If Ruchi worked hard to stood first Reshu's perseverance was no less remarkable.
i think first one sounds better....
