Explanation:

- Although (Option 4): This word shows a contrast between two statements, which fits the context here. It introduces the surprising fact that the train managed to recover time despite being very late initially.

- Because (Option 1): This implies a cause-and-effect relationship, which doesn't match the context of contrasting statements about the train's delay and time recovery.

- Incase (Option 2): Often used to denote precaution or conditional scenarios, which do not fit this context.

- Inspite of (Option 3): Generally requires a noun or noun phrase, like "in spite of the delay," whereas "although" is better for joining contrasting clauses as seen here.
