Solution
The correct option is B held up
Option D is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'held up' means to cause a delay for someone or something or to make them late. Options A, B and C are incorrect because 'held back' means to stop someone or something from moving forwards, 'held down' means to hold someone who is lying down, so that they cannot move and 'held over' means to do something or deal with something at a later time or date.
