The transition word that signals cause-and-effect in this list is "as a result." To determine the answer, you need to understand the meaning of each transition word and identify which one represents a cause-and-effect relationship.

The transition word "first" does not indicate a cause-and-effect relationship. It usually indicates the initial item in a series or sequence.

The word "however" is used to present a contrast or contradiction between two ideas, so it does not signal cause-and-effect.

The transition word "finally" is used to introduce the last item or step in a series, so it does not indicate cause-and-effect either.

On the other hand, the phrase "as a result" suggests that one event or action leads to a specific consequence. It directly indicates a cause-and-effect relationship, making it the correct answer in this case.
