Solution
The correct option is A ahead of her times
The sentence seeks to imply that Granny was an innovative person and was radical by the standards of her time. Hence the correct idiom to use is, 'ahead of her times'; option C is the correct answer.
Behind the times means outdated, racing against time means rushing to meet a deadline or to finish a task in limited time and in the nick of time means just in time. Since none of these idioms can give the sentence any sensible meaning, options A, B and D are incorrect answers.
