The correct option is “that” because it properly introduces a noun clause that functions as the subject of the sentence. In the sentence “that I am your junior does not mean you should order me about like a houseboy,” the clause “that I am your junior” is the subject, and “does not mean” is the verb. English commonly uses “that” to introduce such clauses when an entire idea is being treated as a single unit. The other options do not fit this structure. “Even” cannot introduce a noun clause and sounds grammatically incorrect here. “If” introduces a conditional clause, which would change the meaning of the sentence and imply a hypothetical situation instead of a factual one. “Though” introduces a contrast clause and would require the sentence to be restructured completely, for example: “Though I am your junior, you should not order me about like a houseboy.” For these reasons, “that” is the only option that correctly completes the sentence.
