Detailed Solution

Concept: ‘Undoing’ a sentence. It is a small collection of words that develop the meaning of a sentence. This saying has several meanings. It may mean delaying some action or activity. It may mean stopping someone from doing something. In fact, the word has a negative connotation and impairs the immediate completion of the action.
 Eg. Tina kept postponing her assignment as her deadline was two weeks away.
Let us examine this example. Here, we see that Tina has a role to play. However, he continues to quit his job and delays his progress. We know that he is doing this as his deadline gives him a false sense of security that there is a lot of time until the deadline and he can finish his assignment at another time. Here, we can clearly see that procrastination means to postpone or delay an action.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
