Answer 1

D. I've missed out on opportunities because of my tardiness

Answer 2

D. I've missed out on opportunities because of my tardiness.

The narrator is trying to help herself get better with her tardiness problem, but the problem itself gets in the way and keeps her from being able to get that help. She is late to the support group meeting so misses it, which represents the opportunities that her tardiness is making her miss out on.
