Explanation:

“Because” shows a reason, but since the second sentence does not state a reason behind the second, alternative I can be eliminated. III is an unfit as “between” must take two entities which is not mentioned in the first sentence. Alternative II fits appropriately as the first sentence gives a reason why it became a difficult task for her and “however” acts as “but” to show the contrast.

New statement: This became a difficult task, as her publishers in Philadelphia had retired from business many years ago; however, it was eventually discovered that her residence is at Wilmington, Delaware, and copies of the second edition of the book, 1889, were obtained from her.
