The javelin has a sharp point, which is more obviously dangerous than the discus; moreover, the discus is actually more likely to injure bystanders because, especially when wet, it can slip out of the thrower's hand and fly in a random trajectory.

However,both have vast difference in their meaning.
b) javelin has a sharp point and is obviously more dangerous than the discus; however,
When we say Javelin is more obviously dangerous, then we are saying that it is very clear that javelin is more dangerous than discus; However that is not so; It is the discus that is more dangerous. So B is against the grain of using the transitional contrast adverb however.
e) Javelin, with its sharp point, is more obviously dangerous than the discus; however,
When we say that the javelin is more obviously dangerous than discus, we are surmising that Javelin is apparently more dangerous than discus; however, in reality discus is more dangerous. Now the contrast adverb however, fits in smugly.

Hi Marcab,
Both of the sentences convey different meaning
obviously more dangerous - This means that "It is CLEAR that X is more dangerous THAN Y"
more obviously dangerous - This means that "That X is more dangerous THAN Y and this fact is MORE obvious or overt"
As far the this questions is concerned "obviously more dangerous" is INCORRECT and "more obviously dangerous" is CORRECT.
To understand why MORE OBVIOUSLY is correct, look at the contrasting word "HOWEVER" and the meaning of the non-underlined portion
The javelin, with its sharp point, is obviously more dangerous than the discus; however,, the discus is actually more likely to injure bystanders because, especially when wet, it can slip out of the thrower's hand and fly in a random trajectory.
This sentence fails to highlight the intended contrast
The javelin, with its sharp point, is more obviously dangerous than the discus; however,, the discus is actually more likely to injure bystanders because, especially when wet, it can slip out of the thrower's hand and fly in a random trajectory.
This sentence highlight the intended contrast
I hope this will clear your doubts.
