• C. ahead of her times
• D. in the nick of time

Answer 1

The correct option is C ahead of her times

It can be concluded that the subject's granny 'had ideas or attitudes that were too advanced to be acceptable in her era'. Thus, the answer must have the above meaning.

Option A is incorrect. It means 'old-fashioned'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.

Option B is incorrect. It means 'to hurry to beat a deadline'. Thus, it is not the correct meaning.

Option C is correct. Its meaning is exactly the same as the required meaning. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. It means 'just in time'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is incorrect.
