Correct Answer: Only just in time


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The idiom "in the nick of time" means at the last possible moment or just in time to prevent a disaster or achieve something. The option "only just in time" effectively captures the essence of this idiom, emphasising the narrow margin of time within which something occurs or is accomplished.

Therefore, the correct meaning of the idiom is only just in time.
