Hint: Conjunction is a term used in the same clause to associate clauses or sentences or to organise terms.

Complete step by step answer:
"Same as" is used to indicate similarity; the thing/person is similar and may even look identical but is not the exact particular thing/person as mentioned before. "Same that" is used to indicate when the item or person is actually the exact same that was discussed; it may look similar or different but is actually the same that was discussed in another part of the sentence.
The sentence given is about the various types of primary colours. We couple 'as' with 'such' and create the idiom or expression 'such as' to introduce the examples or forms of a specific banner. Examples of primary colours include red, blue and yellow. Option B is therefore right. 'That' refers to the magnitude of anything when combined with 'such' as 'It was such a fascinating story that I finished reading it in one sitting'. It does not apply to a case. Choice A is, therefore, wrong. If 'refers to a condition, a hypothetical circumstance as in' I'll go if you come with me 'that may or may not be actual. Here, there is no hypothetical case, and 'if' does not pair with 'such' since they have different meanings, option C is therefore incorrect. 'Or' is used to offer a choice of two 'this or that' items. In this sentence, there is no choice between hobbies, so it cannot be combined with 'such' and option D is incorrect.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
Conjunctions are commonly used as a connector. There is often a mistake in using Conjunctions with nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and other words. Therefore, only after studying Conjunctions can such questions be answered correctly.
