c. Nevertheless

Nevertheless means "in spite of." It indicates that despite the circumstances of the first sentence, the second sentence occurred (against all odds). In this example, the students did not study hard, so the expected result is for them to fail. However, they passed, which means that the circumstances of the first sentence were not an obstacle for the events of the second sentence to occur.
