Correct answer: as far as

Explanation: Conjunctions are words that join clauses or phrases. Here, the sentence needs a conjunction that shows extent or limit of advancement. The correct expression is 'as far as', which means to the extent/limit that. A. until ❌ – shows time, not extent. B. while ❌ – expresses simultaneous action, not extent. C. as far as ✅ – correct; indicates the maximum extent he advanced. D. as ❌ – incomplete, doesn’t convey extent here. ✔️ Correct sentence: He advanced as far as he could.
