Explanation
Conjunctive adverbs connect ideas between clauses, often showing a relationship such as result, time, or contrast. “Therefore” in C shows a result, “meanwhile” in E shows events happening at the same time, and “nonetheless” in F shows contrast. The other sentences use a coordinating conjunction, a semicolon without a conjunctive adverb, or a subordinating conjunction instead.
