Correct Answer:
by time
by time
option C has the erroneous part,
by time should be replaced with on time.
by time and on time looks similar but they are not one and the same thing, in the sense that 'on time' is used to mean at the specific time while by time means at the time : when I had lived in 12 different cities by the time I turned 18. By the time she showed up, I was finished eating.
