Correct Answer: because


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The conjunction "because" is used here to indicate the reason or cause for the unusual situation mentioned in the sentence. It establishes a logical connection between the popularity of Hauz Khas Village (HKV) and the fact that it is one of Delhi's popular shopping areas, explaining why the emptiness of the parking lot is unusual.

Therefore, the correct answer is "because".
