Answer
Correct Answer: can seldom complete his work on time
Explanation
ConceptThe pattern "so … that" expresses a consequence of the degree. Extreme laziness naturally causes poor timeliness in completing one's own work.
Option analysiscan seldom complete his work on time — directly plausible consequence of laziness. ✅(a) A very lazy person often does depend on others; the negative here is misplaced.(b) Laziness tends to delay work, not prevent delays.(d) Grammar off and contradicts laziness.(e) Helping others contradicts the described laziness.
Final Answercan seldom complete his work on time.
