Answer 1

The correct option is B so that

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses.

Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

'So that' is used to talk about a purpose or a result of an action.

'As far as' describes 'to the degree or extent that. It qualifies the statements which apply on certain conditions.

'While' means something that is happening at the same time as something else or indicates a contrast. 'So far as' is used to show to the extent that.

Thus, option B is the correct answer as the result of an action is described.
