Explanation:

- Option 1: "but" - Used to introduce a contrasting idea. Doesn't fit because the sentence is explaining an effect, not a contrast.

- Option 2: "that" - Used to introduce a subordinate clause. It fits as it links the cause (Agra's marble-marvel has such an overwhelming presence) with the effect (other monuments have been relegated).

- Option 3: "if" - Typically introduces a conditional or hypothetical situation. Doesn't work here as the sentence isn't conditional.

- Option 4: "than" - Used for comparisons (e.g., greater than, less than). This sentence doesn't compare like that.

Your choice of option 2 is appropriate for the sentence structure.
