Dear Ron,
I eliminated choice B at first glance because I think "Though" is a conjunction to connect two sentences. as shown in choice B, the second sentence is an independent clause, so I think though is wrong......
So, Though can also be used for adverbs here?

Re: Comparisions Query
For the correct answer choice - I thought that since "though" is dependent on the first clause, it cannot be used with "semicolon". Generally two sentences joined with "though", cannot have "semicolon".
Looking at choice A, are these two constructions correct?
I, unlike her, read books. - (where unlike comes after)??
Unlike her, I read books.
Although, the explanation is that "in addition" conveys the same idea. We can assume that we are talking about the same set of people and thus "in addition" could be applicable. Although, a contrast is present in the later clause.
Please advice.

I don't know the terminology in your question, but, in this choice, "though" is roughly equivalent to "on the other hand". It's an adverb.
