Although Maryland, unlike many other U.S states, has weathered the convulsions of the recession with fewer job losses, job creation nevertheless is at the very apex of Governor Martin O' Malley's agenda and he recognises that it has both a domestic and an international dimension.

I assume "nevertheless" is the key here. But I thought it is somehow redundant because of although and chose C. But now that I think of it, its actually two different clauses
Can anyone explain in detail??

We can easily eliminate the choices to get the correct answer.
B - Both domestic as well as international - Incorrect . Correct usage is - Both x and y.
C - Maryland weathered... - Incorrect usage of past tense.
D - domestic and an international dimension both - incorrect usage of both.
E - " job creation nevertheless is at the every apex of governor Martin O'Malley's agenda" - Incorrect. It implies that the agenda multiple peaks and job creation stays at each of them. The true meaning is job creation is at the top of the agenda.
Hence, A is correct.
Although Maryland, unlike many other U.S states, has weathered the convulsions of the recession with fewer job losses, job creation nevertheless is at the very apex of Governor Martin O' Malley's agenda and he recognizes that it has both a domestic and an international dimension.
Now, the query, who does "he'' refer to?
It ideally should not refer to Malley as there is no mention of Malley but the possessive Malley's .
However,this is the 2nd problem in which I see personal pronoun referring to subject of a possessive noun.
The first one I confronted is :

Thus we can conclude that GMAT doesn't follow the famous rule strictly - Only possessive pronoun can refer to a possessive noun.
