Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentence has two independent clauses joined by a comma splice. We need a word that shows the contrast between the fact that knees and elbows get scraped up and that they heal quickly. "While" is a subordinating conjunction that can introduce a contrast. "Usually" just indicates frequency, "Moreover" is for adding information, and "Noting that" is for stating an observation. None of them convey the contrast as well as "While".

Answer:

C. While knees
