Explanation:

From ‘20 countries have already called for a total ban on killer robots,’ one can consider that countries might have decided to boycott the upcoming meeting on autonomous weapons. This option can be used. ‘Even though’ is used to show contrast and means ‘despite the fact that.’ This option only fits with the first sentence and does not help in connecting the two sentences. From the second sentence, one can use option III to connect the sentences. Therefore, option B is the apt answer.
New statement:
The boycott comes ahead of a United Nations meeting in Geneva next week on autonomous weapons, and more than 20 countries have already called for a total ban on killer robots. While support builds for an outright ban on autonomous weapons, there is a United Nations meeting in Geneva next week on autonomous weapons, since more than 20 countries have already called for a total ban on killer robots.
