  2. Then is an adverb used to indicate time or order of events.

  3. Than is a conjunction used to introduce a comparison between two elements. In this context, "than" is the correct choice as it clearly indicates that online shopping is being compared to shopping in a market.

  4. As is a conjunction that can be used to compare actions, but in this sentence, "than" is more appropriate for making the comparison between the two types of shopping.
