Solution
The correct option is A Delay
'Postpone' means to cause or arrange for (something) to take place at a time later than that first scheduled.
"the visit had to be postponed for some time"
In this context, "The doctor was forced to postpone his vacation because so many of his patients were ill", 'postpone' means to delay. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
