遅刻 ("lateness") → "I overslept and was late for school."

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

遅刻する means to arrive late for something (school, work): 学校に 遅刻した. Trains use 遅れる.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
A train being late is 遅れる/遅延, not 遅刻.
遅刻 is not a な-adjective.
遅刻 is for people being late, not food.
