Correct Answer: On the cards


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

On the cards means something likely or expected to happen in the future, often based on current circumstances or indications. In this context, saying Nitish's promotion is "on the cards" implies that his promotion is expected or likely to happen soon.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Not worth his salt: This idiom refers to someone who is not competent or capable in their job or position.
  • With due respect: It's a phrase used to preface a statement when disagreeing or criticising someone politely.
  • Done to death: This expression means something has been repeated or used so much that it's no longer interesting or original.
