Answer:
A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects an independent clause to a dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence.
'Because' is a subordinating conjunction which is used for showing the reason something happens. The subject's reason for not going to the show was that he/she had already seen it. Hence option B is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'until' is used to mean up to a time in the past or future, 'so' and 'but' are coordinating conjunctions used to join independent clauses in compound sentences; the former shows effect and the latter is used to connect ideas that contrast.
