D should be wrong since although does not fit in the sentence. IMO it should be A which is the best of all the choices. OA please?

second sentence is starting after semicolon then why a conjunction is required to connect the two.

Second should be an independent clause.

I am not able to figure out between A and D

The 2nd part of the question is referring to slopes with music and slopes without music. Skiers have the option of choosing slopes with music however they don't have the option of choosing one with out music. Hence D :-D

(A) skiers can choose among hard rock, soft pop, and “beautiful music” slopes, there are So? Improper conclusion
(B) because skiers can choose hard rock, soft pop, or “beautiful music,” there are - Causal effect is not proper
(C) however, skiers can choose among hard rock, soft pop, “beautiful music,” and - Categorizing slopes with no music along with various music options
(D) although skiers can choose among hard rock, soft pop, and “beautiful music” slopes, there are - :-D
(E) skiers can choose among hard rock, soft pop, “beautiful music” slopes, but - does not refer to the skier's option

i was hoping to see 'although' in the answer choices because it is needed here. 'although you can choose among a,b and c, there's no option d'.

A lacks this expression and merely gives simple info. this is why D is better.

Why is "among" correct? Normally you say "choose between A, B, and C".

Use among when you have more than 2 options to choose from.
Use between when you have just 2 options to choose from.

Between is used when there are 2 objects, among for more than 2. D is the best answer here.
