Solution
The correct option is B Besides
Option A) As well as - means "in addition to" but is not generally used to start a sentence.
Option B) Besides- means “apart from”
Option C) Beside- means “next to” or "on the side of"
Option D) In addition to- means the same as "as well as" but may be used to begin a sentence.
Since the sentence already has the word 'also' at the end, we cannot use the options A or D. Option C) Beside simply denotes position, so it is the incorrect option here. This leaves us with option B) Besides as the right answer.
