Solution
The correct option is E Put off
'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, "We were forced to postpone the meeting when one of the managers had a traffic accident", 'postpone' means to delay or put off. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
