With the development of society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex and technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational role and be in contact with many other members. ______, viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than those of subordination.
A. Besides B. However C. Therefore

Which one is more suitable? Why???


Thanks

Could I choose Therefore instead?
"each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational role and be in contact with many other members" is the cause.
"viewing children as necessary members of society" is the result.

Am i right?

Thanks again for your reconsideration.
