けれども: This means “but” or “however” and is used to introduce a contrasting idea. It does not fit the grammatical structure required here.
こそあるが: This is the correct answer. It emphasizes the existence of qualifications while introducing a contrast with the lack of practical experience.
こそ: This is a particle used for emphasis, but it does not complete the sentence correctly without “あるが.”
から: This means “from” or “because” and is used to indicate a reason or source. It does not fit the context of emphasizing the existence of qualifications followed by a contrast.
Therefore, the correct answer remains “こそあるが.”
