Answer 2

Answer:

Delayed

Explanation:

• Delay is the state of not starting without delay as well as the act of delaying, impeding, or making something occur more slowly than usual.
• The verb delay means to postpone, defer, or put off to a later time. When used in conjunction with an object, it also means to delay or hinder a process or progress. If it's used without a subject or object, it also means to postpone, linger, or dally.
• When used as a noun, delay refers to the act of delaying, procrastination, the time frame or length of time during which something is delayed, or both.
• To hold up means to delay or make late for someone or something. For instance, I apologize for being late but my train was delayed. At work, she was delayed.

Thus the answer is option B.
