You are correct. :-)
A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence together. A better example to describe this would be "Alice bought a calculator, and Ben bought a mouse." The conjunction "and" divides the sentence into two thoughts-- "Alice bought a calculator," and "Ben bought a mouse."
In your example, "but" is a subjunctive conjunction, so the distinction is less clear.
If it helps, an acronym for some VERY common conjunctions is FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or yet, so.

I didn't see a question above. Why did you chose B?
Alex is mostly right about conjunctions, but there's no such thing as a 'subjunctive conjunction'! Subjunctive is one of the verb moods. All the FANBOYS are coordinating conjunctions.
