Correct Answer: A moment delay


Solution : There is an error in the option 1.

We have to use Moment's delay instead of Moment delay.

Moment and Delay are both nouns but to modify a noun, we use an adjective or a possessive noun.

Hence the correct sentence is 

A moment's delay would have proved dangerous in this case.
