Answer 1

correct as is.............

Answer 2

A) Correct as is.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence is correct as it suggests a contrast between two ideas. As a result, even though most governments disagree on extermination, sometimes citizens refuse to adopt measures that protect species from it.

The rest of the options are unnecessary or incorrect because they only change how the two clauses are separated, without a conjunction that indicates a contrasting thought.
