Explicação
A noni B says B happened even though A would normally lead you to expect otherwise. It carries the speaker's surprise, disappointment or complaint. A must be a real fact, not a hypothesis. Te mo can mean 'even if', but noni is only used for facts.
Exemplos

Observações
After noni you cannot use a command, request, invitation or intention (not: ame ga furu noni, dekakemashou). Use te mo or kedo instead. na-adjectives and nouns take na: shizuka na noni, not shizuka da noni.

Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 3 のに
'Although I practice every day, I just don't get better.' The result is the opposite of what you expect, so noni fits. Node and kara give a reason and nara gives a condition, which do not make sense here.

Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 1 日曜日な
'Even though today is Sunday, the train is very crowded.' A noun connects to noni with na: nichiyoubi na noni. Da, no and de are not used.
