I don't see any thing wrong using But
but --> even though --> in contrary --> although are synonyms..(these are conjunctions used to introduce sub-ordinate clauses ) function quite similarly.
A is concise than D.

Between A and C is the toughest battle. So, I will explain my rational for that part.
PS: I am finding it extremely difficult to explain in words why such constructions are correct, but I will attempt anyways
e.g.
She nearly passed all her exams. (She passed none.)
She passed nearly all her exams. (She passed most of them.)
So, takeaway here is what does nearly modify?
In first case nearly modifies passed.
In second case nearly modifies all her exams.
So, using the same logic: (Lets say not as efficient is BAD, as efficient is GOOD)
In C: The author says: She is nearly BAD
In A: The author says: She is NOT nearly GOOD
