Answer 2

D. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D. None of the above because, in fact, all listed words (also, indeed, and while) are transitional words.

Transitions are words and phrases used to connect one idea to the next. They are important because they make the text easier to read and comprehend.

Depending on the way they connected different ideas, transitions can be:

• additive - they show addition, introduction, similarity to other ideas.
• adversative - they signal conflict, contradiction concession, dismissal, etc.
• causal - they signal cause/effect and reason/result.
• sequential - they signal a chronological or logical sequence.

Also and indeed are examples of additive transitions, and while is an example of adversative transitions.
