Correct Answer: through
Solution : 'Fall off' means' to get detached', 'fall in' means 'to take a place in line or formation' and 'fall out' means 'to argue'.
Therefore, the first, third and fourth options do not fit in contextually and the second option is a correct fit for the sentence because the phrase 'fall through' means 'failed/uncompleted' which contextually fits in the sentence.'
Hence, the complete statement should be "It is mainly due to Peter's lethargy that the plan fell through. "
