Die Aufgabe ist schwierig, jedoch lösbar.

It is similar to allerdings and however. Sentence-initial jedoch triggers normal verb-second order: Jedoch bleibt das Problem bestehen.

Use it to add a contrasting or limiting statement; at clause start, put the finite verb directly after it.

Choose one answer.

What function does jedoch have here?

Jedoch introduces a contrast to a previous statement. At the beginning of a clause it occupies position one, so the finite verb follows immediately.
