訳 · Translation

Rural depopulation is advancing. As a result, even continuing local traditions is getting harder each year.

正解 · Answer

その結果

解説 · Why

Depopulation leaves only the elderly, and as a direct consequence traditions are hard to maintain. その結果 ("as a result") marks the causal outcome.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong

もっとも — もっとも adds a qualifying "though", not a result.

それにしても — それにしても is an exclamatory aside, not a causal result.

とはいえ — とはいえ concedes/contrasts, but here a result follows directly.
