Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. so.

  • “So” is used as a coordinating conjunction – (a word that joins two or more things, such as sentences or other words). When used in this way, it means "therefore" or "for that reason."
  • For this meaning, “so” joins two complete sentences and shows the result of something in the second sentence.
  • The given statement shows the reason hence, "so" will be the correct choice here.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
