A conjunction is a part of speech used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. 'But' is coordinating conjunction used to suggest a contrast. The given sentence shows the contrast of the flowering in plants thus option A is the correct answer. 'However' is used when you are saying something that seems surprising after your previous statement. 'Nevertheless' is used to signify 'in spite of'. 'Otherwise' is used to describe cause and effect situations.

In the given statement, 'but' is the conjunction, more specifically it's a coordinating conjunction of the adversative/contrasting type. 'But' combines the independent sentences "They had little money" and "they were very content" that are contrast in meaning. "little money" does not imply "very content", as we know most of us aren't content with little money. Hence, option B is correct. 'Very' is an adverb that modifies an adjective, verb or an adverb to emphasize its meaning, here it modifies the adjective 'content'. It does not combine the clauses, hence option A is incorrect, it's not a conjunction. 'They' is a pronoun, a pronoun replaces a noun that's been mentioned before, and 'they' here refers to a group of people. As it does not combine the clauses, it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect. 'Little' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'money', it's not a conjunction as it doesn't perform the function of combining clauses. Hence, option D is incorrect.

The sentence in question, "I wrote a letter to you last week ____[1]_____ without any response from your side." has two contrasting ideas 'I wrote a letter' 'you didn't respond back'. So, the conjunction must be an adversative one, i.e. a contrasting one.
Options A and C: 'Yet' and 'but' are both adversative. They refer to contrasting ideas and are often interchangeable, depending on the context of the sentence.
But, they cannot be used interchangeably over here.
(Compare: Yet, they cannot be used interchangeably here.)
'Yet' means 'in spite of the fact that', whereas 'but' refers to 'something that is different from what you said before'. The latter meaning is more suitable here.
So, in this sentence, 'but' is more suitable than 'yet'.
Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Also' refers to an addition; it connects two ideas that are merely added, they do not affect each other.
Option D: 'Till' relates to time: 'till she comes home'
It does not relate to the sentence, hence B and D are incorrect.

Option D: 'Therefore' is a conjunction used in inference-based sentences, or to indicate the consequence of an action. The word itself means 'for that reason, consequently'. Hence this is the most suitable option.
Option A: 'Since' refers to reason or cause. It does not refer to the consequence, but to the reason behind doing something. The meaning isn't relevant here.
Option B: 'For' is also used in inference-based sentences, but its meaning is different from 'therefore'.
'For' means 'reason': There must be someone outside for I heard a knock on the door. This word does not relate here as the latter clause is not a reason, but a result.
