Solution
Option A: "So that" is a subordinating conjunction which is used to express cause or reason. It is used to connect two sentences when one is the cause for the other. The sentence in option A conveys a meaning that if the subject does not perform in the music show, then the profits from the show will go to charity. This is incorrect and hence this option C is incorrect.
Option B: "Unless" is a subordination conjunction which means "except if". It is used to express the only situation in which something will not happen. The sentence in option B means: The only situation under which they will perform is if the profits from the show go to charity. Else, they will not perform. Hence, this option is correct.
Option C: "In case" indicates a precautionary action or possibility of an action provided another action happens. The sentence in option C does not make sense because it means: If the subject does not perform in the music show, then the profits from the show will go to charity. A more appropriate sentence would be: "In case we do not perform in the music show, the profits of the show may not go to charity". Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer.
