Correct Answer: procrastinate


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Procrastinate is the correct term for this behaviour, describing the tendency to delay or avoid completing tasks in a timely manner. It accurately captures the act of delaying or postponing tasks, especially until the last minute.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Decline: It means to politely refuse or decrease.
  • Adjourn: It means to temporarily suspend a meeting or activity.
  • Dwindle: It means to gradually diminish or shrink.
