D. The lowest point in Antarctica appears to be the Bentley Subglacial Trench, which is 8,200 feet below sea level, although lower points may exist.

Explanation:

This sentence correctly uses the subordinating conjunction "although" to combine the two sentences. We need to use a comma, rather than a period or a semi-colon since we are combining the two ideas. The sentence "Although lower points may exist." is not a complete sentence. We also need to note that the comma should go before the word "although."
