Double conjunction

He tried hard, but he failed [a]

Although he tried hard, he failed

He tried hard, yet he failed [c]

He tried hard, but yet he failed [d]


The concessive-result relationship is the same for [a], and , [c], [d]? I don't have [d] arrived at intuitively. The 'but yet' in [d] is a double conjuntion, which has a very similar force to but in [c]?
