> 「朝、起きる」という基本中の基本の生活習慣が身に＿＿次の行為へとつながっていくのだ。

I think that both「ついてこそ」and「ついたからこそ」can be fit into the above sentence.
However, the textbook gives「ついてこそ」as the right answer and I don't know why.

Difference between てこそ and からこそ
Using ～た sounds like it's confined to one specific instance and not a general
statement. If the rest of the sentence was also ～た it would be ok IMO, but
again different from what the general statement is saying.

Think also about what ～て implies with respect to aspect: completeness of the
action.

It is precisely by having got into the most routine of routines -- get up in
the morning -- that one can move on to other activities.

「朝、起きる」という生活習慣が身についてこそ、次の行為へとつながっていくのだ。 Only when you acquire/learn the habit
of getting up early, the next step will follow.
