Explanation

Conjunctions are basically those words which joins one sentence with the other part of the same sentence or in other words we can call it joining words, however, when an adverb joins one sentence with the other part of the same sentence that becomes conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverb joins two clauses, parts of the same sentence to give it a proper meaning. It is also called adverbial conjunction or subordinating conjunction examples include, therefore, furthermore, thus, however, finally, meanwhile, nevertheless, still and so on. In the given sentence, Its not fair to expect her to do all of the work; she doesn't have time for it!, the word furthermore is the conjunctive adverb since it is connecting the first part of the sentence with the second part of the sentence i. e, the clause with the usage of the word "furthermore". It needs to remembered that semi - colon should be added before the usage of conjunctive adverbs. The other options don't fit in and are suitable to be considered as conjunctive adverb in the sentence. Doesn't is not a conjunctive adverb because its only contracted form of does and not which gives doesn't. Fair is also not conjunctive adverb since the word fair is simple adjective. Option D which is expect is also not correct because its a verb and hence cannot be categorized under conjunctive adverb.
