C. But
The transitional word "But" is used to introduce a contrast or exception. In this pair of sentences, the second sentence presents a contrasting situation to what might be expected after the first sentence. Since the expectation is that taking shelter in a shed would typically keep someone dry from the rain, the contrast comes when the shed turns out to be leaky, resulting in getting soaked. The word "But" clearly sets up this contrast: "We ran into a shed when the rain began. But it was so leaky, we got soaked anyway."
