Explanation
A is correct because “although” introduces a dependent clause, which is properly joined to the main clause with a comma. D is correct because “however” connects two independent clauses and is preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. E is correct because “but” is a coordinating conjunction that joins the clauses with a comma. B incorrectly uses “then” to join the clauses, and C incorrectly places a semicolon after a dependent “although” clause.
