Correct Answer: but


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: The conjunction "but" is suitable for contrasting ideas. In the context of the sentence, it introduces a contrast between the assertion that someone might be calling himself stupid and the subsequent statement expressing pride in that characteristic.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Are you trying to say that you are stupid but proud of it?
