Answer

The answer is: Although the town appears strikingly dull, most folks say it's a nice place to live.

Explanation
Option 1: Although the town appears strikingly dull most folks say it's a nice place to live.

This sentence lacks the necessary comma after the introductory clause "Although the town appears strikingly dull," which is needed to separate it from the main clause.

Option 2: Although the town appears strikingly dull; most folks say its a nice place to live.

This sentence incorrectly uses a semicolon. A comma is more appropriate to separate the introductory clause from the main clause. Additionally, "its" should be "it's" to correctly use the contraction for "it is."

Option 3: Although the town appears strikingly dull, most folks say it's a nice place to live.

This sentence is correctly punctuated. It uses a comma to separate the introductory clause from the main clause and correctly uses "it's" as the contraction for "it is."

Option 4: Although the town appears strikingly dull, most folks say its a nice place to live.

This sentence is almost correct but uses "its" instead of "it's." The correct contraction for "it is" is "it's."
