选项 A.Such as
B.Much as
C.Just as
D.As such

答案 C

解析逻辑关系题。选项[A]Such as不能连接一个句子，故该项容易排除；选项[D]As such表示“同样地，本身”，一般作为副词使用，同样不能连接句子，也可排除；选项[B]Much as表示“虽然”，与下文so computers without screens...中的so“因此，所以”无法形成逻辑关系，故排除；选项[C]Jusi as表示“正如”，句中表示举例，整个句子大意为“正如手机远不只是无线电话，汽车远不只是无马之车，没有了显示屏和键盘的电脑有潜力变得比人们今天所能想象的更有用、更强大”。综上，本题答案为[C]。
