Answer 2

Coordinating conjunctions connect two or more independent clauses, words or items which have the same equal importance. In the first option we cannot observe it. Here as is used as a subordinate conjunction. The same applies for the second option. In the third option, we can observe a coordinating conjunction, but the structure of the sentence doesn't make it to have this definition. Therefore, the only correct answer is D.
