Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 1 i.e. It's a little lately

  • The word "lately" means recently, but in this context, the intention is to convey that it's a bit late (in terms of time) to go back to the starting point.
  • Therefore, "late" should be used instead of "lately" to make the sentence grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning.

Hence, thhe correct option would be It's a little lately.
