C Correct answer
Explanation

Lagging behind means falling behind or progressing more slowly than others. When someone is not keeping pace with a group, schedule, or expected progress, they are said to be lagging behind or falling behind. 'Falling above' is logically contradictory, and 'immediate action' is unrelated to the concept of delay.
