Q: Show answer and explanation

B. However,. The second sentence contrasts the timing of demand (early evening) with the timing of generation (midday), so the contrasting transition “However” is logical. “Similarly” signals a likeness, “For example” would present the evening peak as an illustration of midday generation, and “As a result” wrongly suggests that midday generation causes the evening peak.
