Pairing the words together:
industrious & breathless are unrelated
dilatory & tardy- cause delay
biased & tendentious- Presenting a controversial view
Chastised for the___________manner by which he conducted his research, Kopitsky was repeatedly warned by his professor that, if the delays continued, the funding for the study might be withdrawn.
The above highlighted is enough to know that the correct option should be related to a delay in time. Only dilatory and tardy fits.
IMO C & E
Hope this helps!
