• A. delaying
• B. being delayed
• C. having delayed
• D. having been delayed

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

being delayed

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option B) being delayed is correct as the sentence is given in the passive voice and past continuous tense id used to indicate an action which was happening in the past. The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here. The correct answer is B)being delayed.
