Correct Answer: Although she was tired,


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The conjunction "but" is not needed after "although". "Although" already expresses a contrast or opposition, so adding "but" would be redundant. The correct construction is to remove "but" to maintain the grammatically correct structure and avoid redundancy.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Although she was tired, she went to work.
