Correct Answer: Though


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Though is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast or concession. In this context, its use might imply that, despite the fact that he was poor, he still managed to master something, marry a virtuous woman, and have a beautiful son.

It suggests a contrast between his socioeconomic status (being poor) and his accomplishments (mastering something, marrying, and having a son).
