Solution

The correct option is C As well as
The given sentence requires a conjunction, as the conjunction connects two clauses or phrases.
Option A: 'As well as' refers to an addition of things and applies to the sentence here.
Also, 'as well as' means the same as 'and' from the passage itself: "The patterns preferred by the South Asian countries are a mix of Indo-Pakistani and Arabic design schemes."
Hence this option is correct.

Options B, C and D: 'However' expresses contrast with respect to what has been said before.
'So that' refers to purpose, and 'which' is a relative pronoun that introduces defining clause. These are irrelevant here in meaning, and hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
