The correct answer is 'Option 3'.
 
Key Points
  • The statement begins with "Although initial investigations pointed towards him," which indicates a contrast or unexpected turn in the sentence.
  • Among the given options, only Option 3 ("the subsequent evidence that surfaced proved that he was innocent") provides a meaningful and logical contrast to the initial clause.
  • The other options either reinforce the initial suspicion (Option 1, 2, and 4), which does not align with the word "Although," or are irrelevant.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Complete Sentence: Although initial investigations pointed towards him, the subsequent evidence that surfaced proved that he was innocent.

Additional Information
  • Option 1: "The preceding events corroborated his involvement in the crime" contradicts the tone set by "Although."
  • Option 2: "The additional information confirmed his guilt" also does not fit with the idea of contrast implied by "Although."
  • Option 4: "He gave an open confession of his involvement in the crime" is irrelevant to the sentence structure.
