    called it a day

    B.

    C.

    bitten off more than you can chew

    D.

    put something on ice

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is "(c) bitten off more than you can chew."
    · Explanation:
    · "Bite off more than one can chew" means "to take on more responsibility than one can handle."
    · Example: "He agreed to manage three projects at the same time, but now he realizes he has bitten off more than he can chew."
    · Meanings of Other Options:
    · (a) Called it a day (wrong) – Means "to stop working or give up for the day."
    · (b) At the eleventh hour (wrong) – Means "at the last possible moment."
    · (d) Put something on ice (wrong) – Means "to postpone something."
    Thus, option (c) "bitten off more than you can chew" is correct.
