Correct answer: A. Likewise
- A. Likewise

Explanation
The transition word "Likewise" is used to show a comparison between similar ideas. It suggests that what follows is similar or comparable to what has just been mentioned. On the other hand, "Hence" and "Consequently" are used to show a result or effect, and "Instead" is used to indicate a contrast or alternative. Therefore, "Likewise" is the correct transition word for indicating comparison.
