A Correct answer
Explanation

Although is used in subordinate clause to present a contrast. It means 'despite the fact'. According to the context, great care is needed in the scene of crime. So, both 'desirable' and 'required' fit here. But only 'haste' fits with 'rapid deterioration' in the second blank as it presents a contrast to 'great care'.
