Correct Answer: though


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Though is used here to indicate contrast or concession. It signifies that, despite the loud noises and commotion described in the previous sentences, Mansi was waiting for this moment. It contrasts the chaotic situation described earlier with Mansi's anticipation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Like means comparing one thing to another.
  • Throughout means all over or during the whole time.
  • Through means moving on one side and out of the other side.

Therefore, the correct answer is though.
