    Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined portion, which is:

    teeth. The reasons behind this dental decision remain unclear.

    Answer:

    C teeth, but the reasons behind this dental decision remain unclear.

    Explanation:

    The second clause must provide contrast because both sentences have opposing ideas, so to join them, it is proper to introduce opposition with a coordinating conjunction like but.

    The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because A does not involve disparity, B introduces consequence instead of contrast, and D repeats the word archealogists, which is already mentioned in the first clause.
