Answer

B
It does not seem like one vote can make a difference, although every eligible person should vote.
C
It does not seem like one vote can make a difference because every eligible person should vote.
D
Since it does not seem like one vote can make a difference, every eligible person should vote.

Explanation

The original has two short sentences whose ideas are best connected with a contrast: voting may seem ineffective, but everyone should still participate. Choice A combines them smoothly with “Although,” which clearly signals that contrast. Choice C incorrectly suggests that people should vote because one vote seems unable to make a difference.
