A Correct answer
Explanation

Here, omission of 'however' rectifies the error of using 'however' and 'but' together. Either 'but' or 'however' is used in a sentence. 'As' rectifies the error of its omission. In the original sentence 'oral inspection' is compared to 'screening process'.  to show the comparision 'as' is used.
