Correct answer: B
To fill the blank, we need a subordinating conjunction that introduces a contrast between two ideas: the A.C. being on and the room not being cool.
The word 'although' is a subordinating conjunction used to show contrast between two clauses. It is followed by a subject and verb, forming a dependent clause. For example: 'Although it was raining, we went for a walk.'
It is important to note that 'although' is not followed by a preposition like 'of'. Also, 'although' is not used to express conditions (like 'in case') or alternatives (like 'whether').
The correct choice must introduce a contrast and be grammatically correct. The word 'although' fits both requirements.
