To me you are right, and the alternative would be the letter a. (although)

Despite would be used with the following structures:
despite + noun
despite + verb + -ing

So, it´s out of question.
=========================================
Yet
Couldn´t be used in one of the following meanings (from 1 to 7).

And not as a conjunction as well. (see the notes)

=============
Still
It doesn´t fit in the above clause as well.

============

So, what is left is although, wich is used with the structures:

although + a clause

Yesss!
